Would the miniDLNA project be a potential fit?

http://minidlna.sourceforge.net/

http://sourceforge.net/projects/minidlna/

The license is: GNU General Public License

I have had good luck with all 3 of my DLNA devices using miniDLNA and
mythlink.pl, only one of which works directly with the MythTV UPnP server.
