Hi Thorsten,

thanks for the feedback to the package. Please find my comments about
LGPLv3 / GPLv3 below.

The decoder library "libde265" which is LGPLv3 is compiled only from
the sources in folder "libde265" (and subfolders).

The folders "dec265" (and "sherlock265") contain example applications
that use the decoder (through dynamic linking of the library). These
example applications are GPLv3.

How should the license information be reworked? Is it sufficient to
update the Readme.md to state that the library is LGPLv3 but the sample
apps are GPLv3? If so, can this be done through a patch while packaging?

Best regards,
