This is the Debian-packaged version of VideoLink. It is not part of the Debian system itself because it requires an MPEG-2 video encoder and Debian cannot distribute these due to patent threats. Copyright 2005, 2006 Ben Hutchings . VideoLink is licenced under the GNU GPL, version 2, with the following additions: A. You may combine and distribute VideoLink and derivative works with libraries licenced under the GNU LGPL without exercising the option to treat them as licenced under the GPL. B. When distributing VideoLink or derivative works without source code included you must ensure that the documentation retains the notice that "this software is based in part on the work of the Independent JPEG Group", or else remove the code contained in jquant2.c to which that notice applies. On Debian systems, the complete text of the GNU General Public License version 2 can be found in `/usr/share/common-licenses/GPL-2'.
