openh264 patents question #1014

Closed lxhlzyh closed 3 months ago

lxhlzyh commented 3 months ago

I'm confused by the readme description of openh264.I searched for openh264 on Wikipedia and learned that this binary library is free to use.I wonder if the openh264 introduced in ffmpeg_kit_flutter_full is also free to use and commercially available.

openh264 clearly states that it uses patented algorithms. Therefore, if you build ffmpeg-kit with openh264 and distribute that library, then you are subject to pay MPEG LA licensing fees. Refer to OpenH264 FAQ page for the details.
