I'm not happy about the change. License compliance is not an afterthought and it is not a minor detail that we help out with. This statement IMO encourages non-compliance. It sounds as if we would gladly help out with issues and don't mind non-compliance. This is clearly not the case. Also, this is too long a line. > --- a/src/shame > +++ b/src/shame > @@ -4,15 +4,16 @@ LIBAV_LEGAL_NAVBAR > > <p> > This is a list of projects or companies violating Libav's license.
