I'm NOT going to list all names of the project into the debian copyright file (more or less these people are already listed in the ffmpeg project documentation which is enclosed in the source code. IMHO it would be crazy idea to keep such file in sync - it doesn't make sence - as it's stated in ffmpeg doc that all the changes in ffmpeg are bellow LGPL licence and if developer doesn't agree with this his changes are not accepted ( there was just one minor exception with postprocessing part which is GPL - as it's been developed originaly for GPLed mplayer.) So unless you will find a better reason for pushing me to such sensless work I'm not going to fix it this way. I could probably add more info about Project/Codecs Licence - but there are nothing else except LGP and GPL part (GPL is mainly because of Qt licence that doesn't allow LGPL - thus parts using GPL Qt are obviosly GPL) And there are some plugins which are also GPL. Is there some new Debian memorandu which states that copyrign file should contain which line of code was written by whom ? As this is clearly what you wish from me to do - but hey I'm a programmer which develops avifile - I'm not a secretary for this kind of work - so if you propose to activily create and maintant such file - I'd happily accept your updates for such file.
