I still do not understand the link between the ticket and the removal of
lib ndi.
Is it plan to remove all features used by people who doesn't respect the
licence ?

If this patch concerns the removal of a library that does not match to the
freedom politic of this project
It need a definition somewhere, on which lib can be used in the ffmpeg
project, and which not. To avoid embedding a feature, and delete it later
depending of current mood (which is not very interesting for users and
contributors)

The ndi patch history looks like this right now:
- The support lib ndi was added in August 2017
- Several fixes for this feature have been reviewed and integrated since
- then the original creator of ndi, commits a license violation of ffmpeg
- now ndi becomes the devil, and all the previous work will disappear,
breaking some user's tools, making all the work around it very frustrating
for concerned people.
