I suspect that something is wrong with your UTF-8, the § is not coming out right... What's "o license"? "our license"? > +will terminate your rights to our work.

I will gladly cede the point that having the front page read "WE WILL SUE YOU SUCKERS!!!" is not necessarily ideal, but IMNSHO your updated text is erring equally far in the opposite direction. Fact is, nowadays, if you violate our license you are more likely to face a lawyer than a helpful person that will patiently assist in compliance efforts for free. Clearly, a threat is too much, but some words of caution are appropriate. I'll see if I can whip up a suitable replacement later today. > --- 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.

We are not particularly quick at resolving violations. Also, this list is called hall of shame for a reason.
