You do realise that FFmpeg does the exact same thing:
- have a top-level license file (with the same name even) explaining, or trying 
to explain, which file is under which license,
- carry a copy of every GNU licenses as separate files.

Do you think that means that anyone can pick any listed license for FFmpeg? Are 
you saying that anyone can take your FFmpeg IP under MIT or BSD licenses? Or 
take the GPL code as LGPL code?

I and probably most people here think otherwise. That's not how this works and 
as a major copy-left open-source developer, you should know that.

Librempeg, as a whole, is AGPL. And if you strip the AGPL bits, it's GPLv2. All 
you're going to achieve with this mail is infuriate Paul by encouraging people 
to literally steal his IP.


And then it's utterly impossible for such a massive changeset to be reviewed. 
So even if it weren't for the license incompatibilities, there's no way we 
could merge into FFmpeg.
