[Freeswitch-users] H264 transcoding

[Ken Rice]

we can not and will not use GPL software, the license is not compatible with the GPL and would polute the codebase with additional restrictions that are not wanted or needed. now if someone could get them to change the license or atleast give us a license under better terms such as the LGPL or the MPL then the license issue would be null
