    Interestingly, the repo has a LICENSES folder that contains the text of the licenses used in the repo: https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/directory/ed4b20403539eaf089df673d36013b4ecabceecb/?origin_url=https://github.com/rockchip-linux/mpp&path=LICENSES&revision=437bfbeb9567cca9cd9080e3f6954aa9d6a94f18&snapshot=65c3ea2995fea50c556ae4fc2305e6b2bad6e4a3 https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/directory/ed4b20...
