Thanks for replying but I'm still somewhat unclear. My original question: >> What is the larger situation with smff? Is the assertion that it is a >> Belledonne-only thing valid? Why was it created? What Free software >> deals with it? You just said "smff" is a "format", but from the git changes it looks like an alternate file extension for matroska. Can people with foo.smff rename to foo.mkv and read them, or is it really a different format? Where is the source code to read and write this format? I couldn't find it in the linphone git sources. Thanks for ansewring about the nature of the proprietary license offering. I've removed the questions that I think you have answered, and left the ones where I still don't understand. (I realize you probably need to consult with others to answer.) >> What was the rationale for changing mkv to smff in the source code in >> February of 2025? >> >> What is really going on with the sources?
