DistillOpen-source components
Distill runs these programs, which are included in the app (in Distill.app/Contents/Helpers, with their licences in Contents/Resources/Engines). Our thanks to everyone who makes them.
FFmpeg (video and sound)
FFmpeg 9.0.2, used under the GNU Lesser General Public License 2.1 or later, built for Distill without any GPL or non-free parts. The exact sources, the build script and the checksums used to build it are here:
| Component | Licence | Source |
|---|---|---|
| FFmpeg 9.0.2 | LGPL 2.1+ | Download (our copy) · ffmpeg.org |
| LAME 4.0 (MP3) | LGPL 2+ | Download (our copy) · lame.sourceforge.io |
| SVT-AV1 4.2.0 | BSD 3-Clause Clear, AOM patent licence | gitlab.com/AOMediaCodec/SVT-AV1 |

The engines release also holds build-ffmpeg.sh and engines.env, which rebuild the same FFmpeg from these sources. You may replace the ffmpeg and ffprobe programs in your copy of Distill with your own build.

For at least three years from the last time we distribute a version of Distill, we will provide anyone with the complete corresponding source code of any LGPL-licensed component in that version, on request, for no more than the cost of providing it. Ask here.
