Missing license? about video.js

Awesome, thanks Gordon.

GPL is the wrong license for this stuff. It means I can't use it in any site I don't release the full source for. Please license it as MIT, BSD, or Apache. Or if you want to make money, but get less usage, charge for a more liberal license.

It's using the LGPL (Lesser), which means you can use it in anything (including closed source), but you need to contribute updates back. Cool?

Missed that, but I'd still advocate for an MIT style license. If I want to create a custom CSS theme, for instance, I don't necessarily want to contribute back these changes. LGPL will reduce usage with very little benefit in return. Basically everybody will submit real bugs back to you regardless of the license but a more liberal license provides more freedom for end users.
