Legal Notices
The Engine stands upon the labors of the open-source ecosystem. The licenses under which those labors are granted, and the obligations the Forge keeps under them, are gathered here.
The Forge

FFmpeg — LGPL Notice
The Engine carries FFmpeg (ffmpeg.org) as its decoder for a wide field of containers and codecs.
FFmpeg is granted under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) version 2.1 or later. The Engine links to FFmpeg dynamically — by way of shared libraries (.so) — in honor of LGPL 2.1 Section 6(b).
Libraries borne
- libavformat — container demuxing
- libavcodec — audio decoding
- libswresample — sample format conversion
- libavutil — shared utilities
Build configuration
The FFmpeg the Engine carries is built decode-only, LGPL-clean:
Source and relinking
FFmpeg source is borne at ffmpeg.org/download.html.
A listener wishing to relink the Engine against a modified or updated FFmpeg may do so by:
- Drawing FFmpeg source from ffmpeg.org.
- Building the libraries with the Android NDK under the same flags above.
- Replacing the
.sofiles within the application'sjniLibs/arm64-v8a/directory.
The full text of the LGPL 2.1 is borne at gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/lgpl-2.1.html.
libFLAC — BSD 3-Clause Notice
The Engine carries libFLAC (xiph.org/flac) for the decoding of FLAC audio, by way of a dedicated JNI bridge.
libFLAC is granted under the BSD 3-Clause License.
Other Rites of Acknowledgment
The Engine further rests upon the labors of the open-source ecosystem from which it draws — among them the Android Jetpack libraries, the AndroidX libraries, and the Kotlin standard library — each granted under their respective Apache 2.0 licenses. Each is acknowledged with gratitude.
Of Warranty
The Engine is offered as it stands, without warranty of any kind, expressed or implied. The Forge shall not be held to answer for damages arising from the use, or the inability to use, the software, to the fullest extent allowed by law.
