MediathekArr License

Source Code License

MediathekArr source code is licensed under the MIT License.

See the MIT License text below for full details.

Third-Party Dependencies

This project includes and/or uses the following third-party software with their respective licenses:

Open Source Components

Component License Source
FFmpeg LGPL v2.1+ https://ffmpeg.org
MKVToolNix (mkvmerge) GPL v2+ https://mkvtoolnix.download
gosu Apache 2.0 https://github.com/tianon/gosu
Debian/Linux Packages Various (GPL, LGPL, others) https://packages.debian.org

Important: Docker Image Distribution

When MediathekArr is distributed as a Docker image (via Docker Hub or similar), the image layers include GPL-licensed components (primarily MKVToolNix/mkvmerge and FFmpeg).

This means:

  1. Source Code Availability: The source code for GPL-licensed components must remain publicly available. These are available from:

  2. Attribution: The GPL and LGPL licenses require that copyright notices and license attributions be preserved. This file serves as that attribution for the Docker image distribution.

  3. User Rights: Users of the Docker image have the right to:

    • Access the source code of GPL/LGPL components
    • Modify and rebuild the image with modified components
    • Rebuild the Dockerfile from this repository

How to Comply

If you redistribute this Docker image or derivative works:

  1. Include this LICENSE.md file or equivalent attribution
  2. Preserve the Dockerfile (which documents the build process)
  3. Link to source repositories: Users should be able to obtain GPL source code via:
    • The Dockerfile recipe (which references Debian packages)
    • Direct links to FFmpeg and MKVToolNix repositories
    • Debian's source package repositories

Relicensing Note

The MediathekArr source code remains MIT-licensed. However, when you distribute the compiled Docker image, it becomes a derivative work that includes GPL-licensed software. This doesn't change the MIT license of the source code, but it means the distributed artifact must comply with GPL requirements for GPL-licensed components it contains.
