Since then, VLC has\nbeen downloaded **billions** of times.\n\n## License\n\n**VLC** is released under the GPLv2 *(or later)* license.\n*On some platforms, it is de facto GPLv3, because of the licenses of dependencies*.\n\n**libVLC**, the engine is released under the LGPLv2 *(or later)* license. \\\nThis allows embedding the engine in 3rd party applications, while letting them to be licensed under other licenses.\n\n# Platforms\n\nVLC is available for the following platforms:\n- [Windows] *(from 7 and later, including UWP platforms and all versions of Windows 10)*\n- [macOS] *(10.10 and later)*\n- [GNU/Linux] and affiliated\n- [BSD] and affiliated\n- [Android] *(4.2 and later)*, including Android TV and Android Auto\n- [iOS] *(9 and later)*, including AppleTV and iPadOS\n- Haiku, OS/2 and a few others.\n\n[Windows]: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-windows.html\n[macOS]: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-macosx.html\n[GNU/Linux]: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/#download\n[BSD]: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-freebsd.html\n[Android]: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-android.html\n[iOS]: https://www.videolan.org/vlc/download-ios.html\n\nNot all platforms receive the same amount of care, due to our limited resources.\n\n**Nota Bene**: The [Android app](https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android/) and\nthe [iOS app](https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-ios/) are located in different repositories\nthan the main one.\n\n# Contributing \u0026 Community\n\n**VLC** is maintained by a community of people, and VideoLAN is not paying any of them.\\\nThe community is composed of developers, helpers, maintainers, designers and writers that want\nthis open source project to thrive.\n\nThe main development of VLC is done in the C language, but this repository also contains\nplenty of C++, Obj-C, asm and Rust.\n\nOther repositories linked to vlc are done in languages including Kotlin/Java [(Android)](https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android/),\nSwift [(iOS)](https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-ios/), and C# [(libVLCSharp)](https://code.videolan.org/videolan/libvlcsharp/).\n\nWe need help with the following tasks:\n- Coding\n- Packaging for Windows, macOS and Linux distributions\n- Technical writing for the documentation\n- Design\n- Support\n- Community management and communication.\n\nPlease contribute :)\n\nWe are on IRC. You can find us on the **#videolan** channel on *[Libera.chat]*.\n\n[Libera.chat]: https://libera.chat\n\n## Contributions\n\nContributions are now done through Merge Requests on our [GitLab repository](https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/).\n\nCI and discussions should be resolved before a Merge Request can be merged.\n\n# libVLC\n\n**libVLC** is an embeddable engine for 3rd party applications and frameworks.\n\nIt runs on the same platforms as VLC *(and sometimes on more)* and can provide playback,\nstreaming and conversion of multimedia files and streams.\n\n\n**libVLC** has numerous bindings for other languages, such as C++, Python and C#.\n\n# Support\n\n## Links\n\nSome useful links that might help you:\n\n- [VLC web site](https://www.videolan.org/vlc/)\n- [Support](https://www.videolan.org/support/)\n- [Forums](https://forum.videolan.org/)\n- [Wiki](https://wiki.videolan.org/)\n- [Developer's Corner](https://wiki.videolan.org/Developers_Corner)\n- [VLC hacking guide](https://wiki.videolan.org/Hacker_Guide)\n- [Bugtracker](https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc/-/issues)\n- [VideoLAN web site](https://www.videolan.org/)\n\n## Source Code sitemap\n```\nABOUT-NLS          - Notes on the Free Translation Project.\nAUTHORS            - VLC authors.\nCOPYING            - The GPL license.\nCOPYING.LIB        - The LGPL license.\nINSTALL            - Installation and building instructions.\nNEWS               - Important modifications between the releases.\nREADME             - Project summary.\nTHANKS             - VLC contributors.\n\nbin/               - VLC binaries.\nbindings/          - libVLC bindings to other languages.\ncompat/            - compatibility library for operating systems missing\n                     essential functionalities.\ncontrib/           - Facilities for retrieving external libraries and building\n                     them for systems that don't have the right versions.\ndoc/               - Miscellaneous documentation.\nextras/analyser    - Code analyser and editor specific files.\nextras/buildsystem - Different build system specific files.\nextras/misc        - Files that don't fit in the other extras/ categories.\nextras/package     - VLC packaging specific files such as spec files.\nextras/tools/      - Facilities for retrieving external building tools needed\n                     for systems that don't have the right versions.\ninclude/           - Header files.\nlib/               - libVLC source code.\nmodules/           - VLC plugins and modules.
