(AKA who exactly changed what). Legally, all these copyright headers are meaningless, as long as the license is correct. If they weren't, FFmpeg would be in trouble for changing the copyright headers of all files added by Libav from "Libav" to "FFmpeg". It's possible that Libav is not always careful with attribution, but it's the same with FFmpeg. For example, af_pan.c is LGPL, even though it was ported from MPlayer GPL code, and the author could not be contacted. Recently, I contacted the same author about relicensing the same MPlayer code (of which af_pan.c was a subset of) to LGPL, and he explicitly denied relicensing. So if I had been cehoyos, I probably wouldn't shut up about how FFmpeg violates copyrights (fortunately I'm not cehoyos). I think nowadays af_pan.c certainly does not violate the original author's copyright though, because absolutely all code was removed/replaced. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
