I do not understand that how it is being decided to remove a complete work against a non-free distribution. I suggest to not to take immediate harsh actions without fully discussing the side effects. Personally, I do not believe they break the license on purpose. If so, they wouldn't announce it. They would fo as some others do, by trying hide. So personally, I think removal of code is a very strong decision for this kind of revertible violation, as Newtek also gets in response asap. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
