<div>Hello</div> <div>I am developing a software which downloads Videos from <a href="http://youtube.com" target="_blank">youtube.com</a>. Now since I need to include the FLV player and VLC Media Player does that very nicly So can I include the VLC Media Player (Active X) in my sofware. The software would be sold for $9.95 on the internet</div>
<div> </div> <div>In my software the VLC Player will be used to Play online streaming Videos and the FLV Videos. So can i use VLC media Player in my software? If yes do I need to write anything in Copyright License Section of the software? Please let me know in detail Also I would request you to please let me know what should I write in Copyright License Section for VLC</div>
<div> </div></blockquote></div><br>The answer to your question is both yes and no, depending on how you distribute your application and how you use VLC with your application.<br>VLC is licensed under the GPLv2 license I believe, which lets you use the source code and include it with your own software, but then you have to also let others have your source code.<br>
<br>I am no affiliated with VLC in anyway, so this is not an approval of any kind, just an attempt of explaining some points.<br>But read up on GPL licenses and see if you its compatible with your software project.<br><br>
