I think it's time for Luc to start playing nice. His toxic behavior
does not help.
Trying to berate both on list and off list, even new members to this
Google group,
is unacceptable behavior.
It makes me wonder whether his abrasive behavior was actually a factor
to the situation that we try to solve here.
It's very ironic as well!
We see constructive efforts from Allwinner to fix issues
and it makes sense for the community to be constructive as well.
I do not even see an issue filed at
https://github.com/allwinner-zh/media-codec/issues
Being constructive and nice takes you a long way,

Just my two cents about Luc:
I recently dared entering the irc sunxi chat and obviously disturbed the
experts there with Luc loading off his anger because I had bought a
BananaPi which he thinks is kind of a parasitic product o_O
Immediately I also received the message that I better do not weigh each of
his words, so his very special personal style must be known to insiders. I
give credit to those who deliver excellent code, they are entitled to
communicate like nerds :O
Regarding the GPL violations:
Imho it is obvious that Allwinner did violate it, as many other companies
do it every day. I think it is necessary to regularly put a finger in
these wounds and be vigilant to change that situation.
BUT: We need results and therefore it is better to have good relationship
with the companies while politely pushing them everyday in that direction.
From many years of industrial experience I do know that most probably
those companies do not intentionally violate GPL. They are just busily
struggling to survive in these extremely fast moving markets and do not
have time and resources to care for this kind of 'details'. This does not
excuse it or embellish anything, but that is how organizations operate.
Therefore, when David Lanzendörfer travels to Shenzen and get's personal
contact with engineers at Allwinner this imho is the very best possibility
to improve that situation. Let us give him a fair chance to prove the
usefulness right now.
