7 URLs with C API.

14 =======
16 libquvi is free software, licensed under the LGPLv2.1+. The lua scripts
17 that libquvi uses are considered as programs and using the lua scripts

21 Motivation
22 ==========
24 libquvi originates from the idea of allowing users to view the videos
25 without having to install or use flash. It is a "workaround", not an
26 "alternative" to flash.
