In my discussions with Christian, the license field is supposed to
mention the license of the supporting lib. This is because all of the
code in gstreamer and gst-plugins *should* be LGPL, so it would be
relatively uninteresting to always report LGPL. Also, the person
who runs gst-inspect is interested to know the ramifications of
using the plug-ins, not really the license of the plugin itself.
So my patch currently lists any plugin with a GPL dependency as
a "GPL" plugin.
I am sure Christian will correct me if I am wrong here.
Perhaps it would be more clear if a new license field were added
that stated more clearly. Perhaps "Plugin LGPL with GPL dependency",
or some-such?
