Replace libmp4v2 dependency #13

Open Maia-Everett opened 13 years ago

Since libmp4v2 is MPL-licensed, easytag cannot legally linked with it: MPL is a GPL-incompatible license. The program will need to be ported to another API for reading and writing MP4 tags, such as GStreamer or libavformat.

It's a shame we don't have enough source history to contact people to add a linking exception to the license. Anyway patches are as always welcome. I don't intend to do anything myself as it's not a problem purely from the source code perspective. I'll merge a patch if someone provides one though.

Here is a patch replacing libmp4v2 with taglib. It handles only the basic tags, though.
