1) Should libNDI support be removed from the ffmpeg codebase?
This sounds to me as if you know of an alternative to not endorsing
a company that profits from FFmpeg while at the same time
violating the copyright of the FFmpeg developers?
What could this alternative be?
We could list them on our webpage hall of shame, or whatever.
Could you be more specific?
Both about the "webpage" and about our suggested message of
both endorsing and shaming a software company at the same time?
To be frank, I consider this vote to be more important for our
project/community to make sure everyone's voice is heard,
than the actual outcome.
I probably fail to parse this sentence as it makes no sense
whatsoever to me;-(
At the moment, it looks to me that FFmpeg is a community without
leadership, enforced rules and consequences. In fact, I consider this the
main reason why people consider working in it an unfriendly experience.
We can't really change this for the better unless there is a somewhat
"recognized" authority which has the power to make decisions, rules, and
enforce them.
I hoped that this can be the voting comitte. Voting is important,
because people typically accept majority decisions even if they don't
agree with them. I believe that this is why several people including
me expressed that NDI removal should only have happened after a vote.
If we don't vote about this, but simply accept that somebody pushed this
without consensus, then it is a dangerous precedent, one that will only
prove that you don't really have to play by the rules here.
So that is what I mean, when I write that voting about this is important
for the community. Because the NDI issue and the way it was handled is a
manifestation of our bigger problems.

Marton
