Linking Avisynth statically or dynamically with other modules is making a
combined work based on Avisynth.  Thus, the terms and conditions of the GNU
General Public License cover the whole combination.

As a special exception, the copyright holders of Avisynth give you
permission to link Avisynth with independent modules that communicate
with Avisynth solely through the interfaces defined in avisynth.h,
regardless of the license terms of these independent modules, and to
copy and distribute the resulting combined work under terms of your
choice, provided that every copy of the combined work is accompanied by
a complete copy of the source code of Avisynth (the version of Avisynth
used to produce the combined work), being distributed under the terms of
the GNU General Public License plus this exception.  An independent
module is a module which is not derived from or based on Avisynth, such
as 3rd-party filters, import and export plugins, or graphical user
interfaces.

AviSynth documentation license

AviSynth documentation is Copyright © 2002-2007 AviSynth developers and contributors.

Starting from 5 August 2007 the following documentation is released under the CreativeCommons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 License (abbreviated by "CC BY-SA 3.0", see also full license terms):

When editing this Wiki or using material from this Wiki or off-line documentation you are bound by the terms of this license, and these terms are briefly as follows:

You are allowed to copy, modify or improve the content of the AviSynth Wiki and the off-line documentation provided that:

Besides above two requirements, you also agree that:

Note that this license has a fair-use clause (article 2):

"2. Fair Dealing Rights. Nothing in this License is intended to reduce, limit, or restrict any uses free from copyright or rights arising from limitations or exceptions that are provided for in connection with the copyright protection under copyright law or other applicable laws."

which, in our opinion, explicitly permits you to post and discuss scripts (from the documentation) where ever you want without the need to mention its license or its authors, but it is civil to credit the developers and script authors. Of course, you may not declare yourself as its author or distribute the documentation under an uncompatible license.

AviSynth documentation translations to other languages (both at the wiki and off-line) should be under same or compatible license terms.
