### Commercial Use
ijkplayer is licensed under LGPLv2.1 or later, so itself is free for commercial use under LGPLv2.1 or later
### Use with closed-source software

But ijkplayer is also based on other different projects under various licenses, which I have no idea whether they are compatible to each other or to your product.
ijkplayer _itself_ is licensed under LGPLv2.1 or later, so it can be used
with closed-source software, provided that you comply with the terms of the
license.

However, ijkplayer includes components of other projects which are licensed
under other terms, the combination and/or configuration of which may make
the _effective_ license of ijkplayer different.

[IANAL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IANAL), you should always ask your lawyer for these stuffs before use it in your product.
