LICENSE = "GPLv2+"
LICENSE_FLAGS = "commercial"
LIC_FILES_CHKSUM = "file://COPYING;md5=94d55d512a9ba36caa9b7df079bae19f \
file://include/mpeg2.h;beginline=1;endline=22;md5=ead62602d4638329d3b5b86a55803154"

The code is still marked as GPLv2+, but the flag is set as commercial due to 
MPEG2 licensing agreement - basically, you are required to pay licensing fees 
to MPEG LA in order to use MPEG2 codec:
