Hello Michael, Thanks for your contribution!

So the presence of this COPYING file with the GPL-3.0 license text seems to be a mistake. So I've adjusted your commit to only mention the LGPL-3.0 license, added a comment in live555.mk about why we don't think anything is under GPL-3.0 and applied to master. Also, it's worth mentioning that the live555 developers themselves don't seem to understand the LGPL very well. In the second bullet point at http://live555.com/liveMedia/faq.html#copyright-and-license, they claim: If you distribute a product (whether software or hardware; whether free or for pay) that uses the LIVE555 library code, then you must - when requested by either a customer, or Live Networks, Inc. - upgrade it as soon as possible to use the latest version of the LIVE555 library code This is clearly _NOT_ a requirement of the LGPL, and a license that would have this requirement would not be a free software / open source license. Best regards, Thomas
