+PLUG-IN DEPENDENCIES AND LICENSES
+---------------------------------
+GStreamer is developed under the terms of the LGPL (see LICENSE file for
+details). Some of our plug-ins however rely on libraries which are available
+under other licenses. This means that if you are using an application which
+has a non-GPL compatible license (for instance a closed-source application)
+with GStreamer, you have to make sure not to use GPL-linked plug-ins.
+When using GPL-linked plug-ins, GStreamer is for all practical reasons
+under the GPL itself.
