Huh? MEncoder -  GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE version 2..

Hi!
This is surely a legal question, but I don't know the best location to ask it...
If I were to use a program (mencoder) that is under the GNU public licence v.2 within my application, what would I have to do to be able to SELL my newly created application (that uses the original gnu licenced program) in order to appease the contract defined in the gnu?
would I have to do anything specific? Include the source code for the gnu app? Install it seperately? or can I just not use it?

At the very least it leaves you open for lawsuits which you may or may not win (it's still somewhat uncharted territory).
Listing it as a system requirement without actually distributing it yourself may be a bit safer, but the best solution is to find something else that meets your requirements and isn't tainted by the GPL.GPL-"tainted" software (i.e. the Linux kernel) is distributed by TiVo with every DVR. The repercussions of that include that they have to distribute the source code to their distributed versions as well, and you can [download the source code|http://www.tivo.com/linux/] for their modified versions of that as well as numerous commands and libraries that they also distribute.

  • I bought a pc that has a volume license version of Windows 8

    I don't have a system admin nor access to Volume License Center.
    I tried to reset my pc which didn't fix the problem. I don't understand why there's a volume licensed version on this personal computer. It was never used for a corporation.
    Is there anyway that I can reinstall Windows 8 ? Not reset it, but reinstall.

    Hi,
    How did you make sure it's the Volume License?
    Generally, If it come with your computer, it should be OEM license.
    Let's check as below:
    click WIN+R, type "SLMGR.VBS /dli", press Enter. There will pop up this window:
    From the information with red marked, you will check if it's volume license.

  • How to show ipad application in itunes, but will only be assessable to owners, not the general public.Using lock code/password protected on iTunes

    How to show ipad application in itunes, but will only be assessable to owners, not the general public by using lock code/password protected on iTunes

    So if I understand you properly, I need to create EOs for all my list of values (which are based on views of Oracle apps tables) and base my VO on those EOs. And then I setup associations between these EOs and the Item EO. Then I include the these EOs in my Items VO and add the description attributes to my list of attributes. I had done this for the list of users, but for the views of Oracle I had just created read only VO. Sounds like that won't work if I want to display the description. I know what to do - I guess I was hoping there was a way to use the read only VO.
    Thanks

  • I get a message that says "This version of pre-release ios will expire in 7 days" What should I do? I am currently running ios 8 GM and I can't update to the public release version.

    I get a message that says "This version of pre-release ios will expire in 7 days" What should I do? I am currently running ios 8 GM and I can't update to the public release version. I am stuck in the beta. Itunes will not let me restore my iphone or update it. PLZ HELP ME

    Wondering if you have a current Backup on iTunes ...if yes you could put the iPhone in DFU Mode by holding the Home button while you plug in the lightning cable.  Then you could Restore the iPhone to Factory Settings on 8.0.2 and after a full Restore go back and then Restore from your Backup.  This happens every time a public release occurs.  Many folks on the Golden Master or otherwise in the AppleSeed program with a Beta version for some reason don't move to the official release ...then the software time-bomb hits and they can't upgrade.

  • Is this a chat with adobe customer service or general public that use adobe

    is this a chat with adobe customer service or general public that use adobe

    HI tom jons,
    You've landed in the community forums. But there are Adobe folks, such as myself, who pop in here throughout the day. What can we help you with? I noticed another post from you about a poor PDF conversion, and suggested that you try disabling OCR to resolve that issue. But if you need help with another issue, let us know!
    Best,

  • Changing plat forms from Win to Mac, Can we move 6 x Win licensed versions of Acrobat Pro 9 to Mac?

    We have 6 x Win Acrobat 9 Pro licenses - Any recommendations on how we could utilise these licensed versions on the new system and or is there an upgrade path?

    There is no normal upgrade path, all usual purchases stay in the same platform. So you could upgrade to Acrobat Pro 11 for Windows.
    However, there is such a thing as a "crossgrade" to cross platforms. If you had Acrobat Pro 11 for Windows, and contacted Adobe they MIGHT sell a crossgrade. Equally they MIGHT sell you a crossgrade from Acrobat Pro 9 Windows to Acrobat Pro 11 Mac. They will not sell, so far as we hear, a crossgrade from Acrobat Pro 9 Windows to Acrobat Pro 9 Mac; licenses for unsupported versions are never sold.
    You might also want to look at volume licensing.

  • Acrobat Pro Trial wiped out my licensed version of Acrobat Standard

    I recently wanted to convert a PDF back to Microsoft Word because I could not find my original Word file. I thought Acrobat Standard would do it, but apparently not. Online research told me that I could download an Acrobat Pro Trial license, which can convert PDFs back to Word. It worked great but when my trial license expired, I discovered it's REALLY expensive to buy the Pro License - even to upgrade from Standard.
    NOW I just want to go back to Acrobat Standard, but the Pro Trial uninstalled my licensed version of Standard and it's gone! My licensed version came preinstalled on my new laptop from Sony as an Adobe bundle. I have no physical disks or my license number.
    What a mess! How can I go back to what I had prior to my Trial?

    You will need to contact Sony, if they didn't include disk and serial number with the computer, and if you didn't keep a suitable backup. What would Sony expect you to do if the hard drive failed and had to be replaced, for example?

  • Licensed version and free download from OTN of Oracle 10g DB

    I had a doubt with any difference with the licensed version and free download from OTN of Oracle 10g DB. We had downloaded a free version of oracle 10g
    database from OTN and are using it in our live environment. It seems to be working fine. We are trying to get a licensed copy of Oracle 10g DB also but that may take sometime. So, my doubt is whether the free download from OTN should not create any problems in our live environment.
    I hope, my question is clear.
    Please, help in solving the doubt.
    regards

    Hello,
    There is no difference whether you download from OTN or get so called licensed copy of oracle software. It's free to download and free to use you are using for personal eduction purpose, but if you are using for commercial purpose then you should contact oracle sales for pricing but you can continue with the same software. See following link for certification on different platform

  • How to Check if you are running Lync Server Evaluation or Licensed Version

    I was not sure if our Lync environment was running Evaluation Version of the Lync Front End server or the Volume Licensed Version. I was looking to migrate from PoC to production so I had to make sure that the services didn’t stop in the middle of production.
    A simple cmdlet to verify this: Get-CsServerVersion
    1. When run it will attempt to
    2. Read the registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Real-Time Communications\{A593FD00-64F1-4288-A6F4-E699ED9DCA35}\Type
    3. Based on that registry value, the cmdlet will then report back the version number of the software and the Lync Server licensing information the local computer and report back one of the following:
    o That the Lync Server volume license key has been installed on the computer, meaning that no updating is necessary.
    o That the Lync Server evaluation license key has been installed, meaning that the computer must be updated.
    o That no volume license key is required on the computer. Updating from the evaluation version to the licensed version is only required on Front End Servers, Directors, and Edge Servers.
    What if Evaluation Version is installed and you have to upgrade to Licensed Version?
    1. Log on to the computer as a local administrator
    2. Click Start, click All Programs, click Microsoft Lync Server 2013, and then click Lync Server Management Shell.
    3. In the Lync Server Management Shell, type the following command and then press ENTER:
    o msiexec.exe /fvomus server.msi EVALTOFULL=1 /qb
    o Note that you might need to specify the full path to the file server.msi. This file can be found in the Setup folder of the Lync Server Volume media installation files.
    4. After Setup finishes running, type the following from the command prompt and then press ENTER:
    o Enable-CsComputer
    o Repeat this procedure on any other Front End Server, Director, or Edge Server running an evaluation copy of Lync Server
    o This procedure should also be performed on any Branch Office Servers that were deployed by using the Lync Server media installation files
    Using Get-CsServerVersion will also show you
    1. What Version Number you are running
    2. What patches has been installed

    Hi,
    I couldn't find direct way of saying whether node manager is running or not but here is the work around. Using WLST when you say "startNodeManager", if the node manager is running this command throw an output saying "node manager is already running". Let me know if this solution works for you, if it works then I can give you java program for this if required or you can use "WLST JAVA Mode".
    Thanks.

  • What is the windows server 2013 license version than I need to install workflow manager 1.0

    what is the windows server 2013 license version than I need to install workflow manager 1.0?
    enterprise or standard? can I install it on datacenter?
    please provide me with the reference.
    thanks

    Workflow Manager will work with either SharePoint Enterprise or Standard.  It doesn't work well with Foundations since it depends on User Profiles to pass user identity to the workflow.  And yes you can install it on Windows Server datacenter edition.
     Here are the supported platforms for installation
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj193487(v=azure.10).aspx
    This article talks about integration with SharePoint and states that Foundation is not supported, but it doesn't differentiate between the Server editions, so any edition will do.

  • Trail version will not allow licensed version to run

    I purchased the licensed version of Acrobat Pro XI, and the trial version was still in effect.
    Now that the trial version is over, I can't access the licensed version at all.
    A window keeps popping up telling me that 0:00 time is left on the trial version, and there is no way out of that popup except to exit.
    If I try to use the licensed version, this happens all over again.
