6c1df1f2 comes to mind but please remember that it was discussed on
avconv-devel that it is ok to remove author attribution if some whitespace
is changed. And please look at the copyright of avconv.c.
> Second, copyright violators are not thieves. So-called intellectual
property has nothing in common with real, physical property. The discourse
of mixing both is exactly the base argument of IP trolls pushing for
harder DRM protections and such.
I am not a native speaker but I really do believe that stealing code is
neither better than stealing ''real, physical property'' nor does it make
a large difference.
