That was only a partial fix. Now the promise is for LGPL 2.1, but FFmpeg is LGPL 2.1+ ... Why this "when this code ever enters the magic wonderland, I shall bestow a free license upon it" in the first place? Get the author to release this as LGPL 2.1+. If somebody cleans this up and integrates it into multimedia lib XYZ, it would be without a license grant...
