3. Legal concerns

3.1. May I use the VideoLAN logo?

You may freely use the VideoLAN logo using the following copyright:

Copyright (c) 1996-2003 VideoLAN. This logo or a modified version may be used or modified by anyone to refer to the VideoLAN project or any product developed by the VideoLAN team, but does not indicate endorsement by the project.

3.2. May I redistribute a piece of VideoLAN software?

You may distribute an original or modified version of a piece of VideoLAN software as long as you comply with its license terms. It is the GNU General Public License Version 2 (referred herein as GPL), and it is in the file named COPYING in our products. The easiest way to conform to the GPL is to accompany the product you want to distribute with its sources. For example, if you plan to distribute the lastest binary version of VLC, you should also include all the files listed on the [32]VLC source code page. You do not need to bother explaining where the sources are, but the sources have to share the same media as the products. There are other ways to comply with the GPL, but this should be the simplest because it does not rely on a contract.

Note: You do not need to ask the VideoLAN team the permission to do so!

...

One of the pre-requisites of the streaming setup is that only Free Software based streaming soultions (codecs/streaming server etc) should be used. Most of the media people in Bangalore still use proprietary system. Abhas of Deeproot have agreed to setup the streaming server and it was discussed that we could seek help from some others too.

And it may not be possible to stream every talk/panel discussion, then we can just record the session with the help of IIMB video team and place all videos on publicly access web server.

Streaming is not necessary. Indians rarely watch live streams and the people in the West would be asleep when the event in BLR will be going on. It'll suffice if we just record at least the talks by RMS and Prof. Moglen and provide the video (in Theora), the audio (in Vorbis) and transcripts (in text/plain). I volunteer to take care of these things if somebody else is not available. Regards, BG
