thornbill 8 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 According to the Emby Software License found here: https://emby.media/license.html. Emby is licensed under the GPLv2 License. This software is licensed under the GNU General Public License Version 2, a copy of which can be found here (https://github.com/MediaBrowser/MediaBrowser/blob/master/LICENSE.md) and/or here (https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-2.0.html). You agree to abide by that license. Under the terms of the GPLv2 license, the source must be made available. I can not find a copy of the source or a method of requesting the source as required by the license. How can I access the source of Emby? Thanks!
ebr 16199 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 Hi. How did you get to that page? That is not current. Our current terms are here: https://emby.media/terms.html Note that we also no longer collect statistics as stated in that old document. Some parts of the system are still GPL and those can be found on our Github page. Thanks.
Luke 42086 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 HI, yes that's out of date. I'm pushing an update to remove that. Thanks.
thornbill 8 Posted March 5, 2020 Author Posted March 5, 2020 Someone had sent me that link in a discussion about Emby. If I read the license correctly I should be able to receive a copy of the source for the version of Emby that I have downloaded. I have downloaded Emby 4.3.1.0 for Ubuntu. Thanks!
thornbill 8 Posted March 6, 2020 Author Posted March 6, 2020 Any update on this? I looked on Github, but I don't see anything that looks like the source for the version I have downloaded. Thanks!
Luke 42086 Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 There's no update, sorry. Newer versions beyond 3.5 are proprietary and that license url that you linked to was simply out of date. I've gone ahead and removed the blurb you mentioned, but it had a link specifically pointing to our old repository anyway, and that is still available GPL.
WhiteGuyTranslating 2 Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 Under the new terms... "No soup for you!" 1
FrostByte 5392 Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 What's the matter Bill, is your development of JellyFin not coming along so well? 5
arche 177 Posted March 6, 2020 Posted March 6, 2020 (edited) Hi. How did you get to that page? There is a link at the bottom of the download page to it. https://emby.media/download.html Should probably update the copyright to 2020 on the pages also, just a thought. Edited March 6, 2020 by arche
thornbill 8 Posted March 6, 2020 Author Posted March 6, 2020 Since you brought it up Jellyfin is great! Getting ready for the next big release soon and client support gets better every day. You should give it a try! I don't develop for the server there, just help out where I can in the nature of FOSS. I just expect that the terms of a license are honored when the official website lists software available under a particular license. Thanks!
