Intent does not erase impact. At one point, they deliberately violated the GPL. Posting an unrefistributable build, then removing it after coming under pressure, isn’t a fix. The only way to regain the rights to use works authored under the GPL should be to release their libraries as such, or forever forfeit integration with the likes of ffmpeg. Their removal is justified. For these with doubts, go through ticket 7589. See the notes on that ffmpeg build. > _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
