+FFmpeg — third-party notice
+============================
+
+This package redistributes an unmodified build of FFmpeg (ffmpeg.exe,
+ffprobe.exe, and the shared libraries they link against). MeshBay uses it to
+transcode video into a browser-compatible format (H.264/libx264) for
+streaming; it is a separate program invoked as a subprocess, not code linked
+into MeshBay itself.
+
+Because that build includes libx264, it is licensed under the GNU General
+Public License, version 3 (GPLv3) — no LGPL-only FFmpeg build includes an
+H.264 encoder, since libx264 itself is GPL. The full license text is at:
+
+ https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.txt
+
+Source code
+-----------
+
+This build was produced, unmodified, by the BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds project from
+FFmpeg's own public source. Corresponding source for the exact version
+bundled here is available from:
+
+ FFmpeg itself: https://ffmpeg.org / https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg
+ This build's scripts: https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds
+ This exact release: https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/releases/tag/autobuild-2026-09-04-14-01
+ FFmpeg revision: N-126404-g818e5d965b (2026-09-04)
+
+Neither FFmpeg's source nor MeshBay's own build process modifies this binary
+in any way; it is carried through unchanged from the release named above.
+
+No warranty
+-----------
+
+FFmpeg is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, per the terms of
+the GPLv3 linked above.
