@blit-sh/bin-gpl

The GPL flavor of the blit binary, distributed via npm. It is the same build as @blit-sh/bin except that software H.264 encodes with x264 (GPL-2.0-or-later) instead of openh264: better compression, and 4:4:4 rather than 4:2:0. Linux only — x64 and arm64, glibc and musl.

Installing it pulls in exactly one prebuilt package for your platform (@blit-sh/bin-gpl-linux-<cpu>[-musl]) through optional dependencies.

The default export is the absolute path to the executable:

const blit = require("@blit-sh/bin-gpl");
require("child_process").spawn(blit, ["open"], { stdio: "inherit" });

There is no blit CLI shim here, so this package can be installed next to @blit-sh/bin. For the GPL binary on your PATH use curl -sf https://install.blit.sh | BLIT_GPL=1 sh.

This binary includes libx264 and is therefore covered by GPL-2.0-or-later. Complete corresponding source: https://github.com/indent-com/blit (x264: https://code.videolan.org/videolan/x264). blit --license prints the exact terms.
