OBS developer here. It doesn't "install OBS in the background". They ship several executables as part of their software that contain code derived from OBS and there is no offer of source code. They're currently in violation of the GPL, but per our GPL Cooperation Commitment we are trying to work this out with them privately.
- PragmaticPulp 5y agoThanks for the clarification. Is there anywhere where this is written up more clearly? Even on Twitter? Would be good to circulate a more clear explanation of what's going on.
- r1ch 5y agoNot at the moment, we're trying to resolve it in private. Similar to how the Streamlabs situation unfolded, we don't want to "go public" until all other options have been exhausted, though it's looking like this choice may be out of our hands.
- pabs3 5y agoA link to that commitment for those who are looking: https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/blob/master/COMMITMENT https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio/blob/master/COMMITM... I'd encourage you to also adopt the FSF/SFC's "Principles of Community-Oriented GPL Enforcement": https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/principles.html https://sfconservancy.org/copyleft-compliance/principles.htm...
