Hello HN: you should really read part 1, part 2 and part 3 about this change.
This afternoon, I finished the relicensing of most of the code of VLC to LGPL, like promised:
You should read my posts on this subject.
Thanks to all VLC contributors, especially the important ones!
Last year, I also did the VLC core LGPL commit.

Thank you for taking the time to do that!
You mentioned in a previous post the existing difference between french laws and US laws (I dare not say international laws) in right ownership (the so called copyright laws). Could you elaborate a bit on that topic, or provide a few links?
