22:40 <Bitterblue> "In addition we deny anyone the right to derive a Photoshop plugin from the source code of RemoveGrain."
22:42 <JEEB> lol
22:43 <Lord> chances are that's invalid anyway
22:44 <Lord> or at least it is questionable as it conflicts with the license mentioned in the source file
22:44 <•Myrsloik> what?
22:44 <•Myrsloik> where did you find that?
22:44 <Lord> the readme
22:45 <Lord> or whatever it is
22:45 <Bitterblue> degrainmedian.h
22:45 <Lord> oh, where's that one
22:45 <Bitterblue> degrainmedian082.zip
22:46 <Bitterblue> It borrows some code from Removegrain.
22:46 <Bitterblue> Macros containing inline asm.
22:46 <Lord> well, if it is stated more clearly there then it might actually apply
22:46 <Lord> that's just standard avs plugin code
22:47 <Lord> 95% inline asm with C macros
22:47 <Lord> (the remaining 5% is the C++ avs interface)
22:49 <Lord> ...ok, it is not clear at all
22:50 <Lord> it still claims that the license is GPL (which it cannot be)
22:50 <Lord> or well cannot be if we assume that the license of RemoveGrain is not GPL
22:50 <Lord> which wasn't clear itself, so yeah
22:50 <Lord> have fun
22:51 <Lord> but at least the copypasta would suggest that they can't claim they didn't see "that other license statement"
22:53 <Lord>  The plugin is based on STMedianFilter plugin by Tom Barry
22:53 <Lord> according to a quick google, that one is GPL
22:53 <Lord> tl;dr you can't distribute degrainmedian082
22:53 <JEEB> well you can, as it is a derivative work of a GPL work and thus is GPL by itself
22:53 <JEEB> virality, ho
22:53 <Lord> nope
22:54 <JEEB> unless it's a single author for all of them
22:54 <Lord> it is a combination of a GPL and a GPL-incompatible work
22:54 <Lord> see above
22:54 <JEEB> by putting non-GPL and GPL into the same thing you're effectively making it all GPL, though, no?
22:54 <Lord> only if you have the right to, obviously
22:54 <Lord> hence "incompatible"
22:55 <Lord> RemoveGrain does not provide any provisions to relicense as GPL
22:55 <Lord> (it explicitly denies it in fact)
22:55 <JEEB> you can't just randomly remove that virality from GPL, though
22:55 <Bitterblue> RemoveGrain is not GPL?
22:55 <junh1024-XD> There was a time when, You can't distribute FDK_AAC with FFMPEG
22:55 <junh1024-XD> cuz incomptible licenses
22:55 <JEEB> junh1024-XD: that's different
22:55 <Lord> JEEB: of course, but that won't make it GPL
22:55 <junh1024-XD> and all the herp about building & compiling
22:55 <junh1024-XD> and secret links
22:56 <junh1024-XD> oh?
22:56 <Lord> tl;dr it is a non-GPL license that has all the bad parts of GPL
22:56 <JEEB> fdk-aac and ffmpeg are clearly separate entities
22:56 <JEEB> while we're talking about someone who put GPL code into his own code base and tries to license it differently
22:56 <JEEB> which just won't fly :P
22:56 <JEEB> I mean, it will fly but it means that it is ALSO licensed as GPL
22:56 <JEEB> (unless it's a single author who has all of the copyright)
22:57 <Lord> it's actually the opposite
22:57 ? Temuthril joined (~Temuthril@4B5AFBC8.F6A94B89.DBE600CF.IP)
22:57 <JEEB> junh1024-XD: and I'm pretty sure enable-nonfree is still required for fdk-aac because it's a separate library with non-compatible licenses
22:57 <Lord> 1. there is RemoveGrain with the dodgy non-GPL license
22:57 <JEEB> it might not be required for an LGPL build
22:57 <Lord> 2. there is STMedianFilter with GPL
22:57 <Lord> and then you have degrainmedian that combines them
22:58 <Lord> only this last part is invalid
22:58 <Lord> (and only for distribution of course)
22:58 <JEEB> right
22:59 <JEEB> so the guy is breaking RemoveGrain's license
22:59 <Lord> basically
22:59 <Lord> if he claims GPL
22:59 <JEEB> also for some reason I'm still poking at android shit https://github.com/mpv-android/mpv-android/releases/tag/mpv-android-2016-07-31
22:59 <Lord> if he claims the non-GPL license then the other one :p
22:59 <JEEB> ye
22:59 <Lord> but looks like he claims GPL
23:00 <Lord> he would have the excuse of RemoveGrain's license not being clear if he didn't outright copypasted the non-GPL one in there :P
23:00 <Lord> -d
