Zhislina, Victoria (12021-05-25):
While you are right that IPP is not GPL based and is closed source
currently (but free for any commercial usage) and therefore does
require --enable-nonfree,
I'm sorry to mention that you are not right about "doing the same but
faster". If you read my commit message you could see that it:
Introduces superscaling interpolation method for video downscale.
Adds antialiasing option to linear, cubic and lanczos interpolation.
Moreover, IPP has 100-s of functions that could be added to ffmeg processing in
the future.
One more thing to mention - when you say "one single platform" it is
x86 that undoubtedly covers top part of video processing market. Such
filter creation request comes from one of the top ISVs in this market.
So, are you working on getting this library GPL-compatible? Notify us
once it's done.
But there is no way we will accept code for a non-libre library coming
from the company that made the library in the first place. That would be
allowing freeloaders.
Put it to a vote instead of one or a few developers declaring it NAK.
No developer has even proposed an actual counter argument yet (except
the submitter, of course), so there hasn't even been disagreement,
which would be the basis for a vote.
The disagreement is that patches should not be rejected on policy or
philosophical grounds by one or a few developers.
External libraries should be put under extra scrutiny, because in many
cases they don't necessarily serve the project - perhaps even the
opposite as it can slow down work on the native component in favor of
the external one being used.
No one's announced that they are working on a native implementation of
the specific features this library offers. Most development nowadays is
bug fixes and code/API sanitation.
In practice, rejecting this lib is rejecting those features.

Gyan
