Deploying an application with a trimmed version of GStreamer?

[Dušan Poizl]

IANAL it is legal to distribute only part of gstreamer which is needed 
by your aplication. You should attach LGPL license to your distribution 
of program and state that your software use LGPL licensed code. And if 
you did any changes to gstreamer itself you are obligatory release this 
changes to whoever requires them.
