We've proven extensively that Allwinner breached not only ffmpeg/libavcodec licensing, it also used illegal code, and given that wide a span of very foul license violations, nobody can trust allwinner any more when it claims that it now has clean hands. Allwinner should not be asking linux-sunxi.org for advice on how to prove that their hands are clean today. They should have a small army of lawyers at the ready this point. These lawyers should be well versed in international copyright and IP matters, and also have a good grasp of the english language. > If the LGPL violations of libvdecoder.so can be cleaned up, how can we use > the shared library on open source sunxi kernel, and even mainline kernel? > I don't what's the low level part in the kernel that libvdecoder.so depends > on, > a thin VPU driver and some special memory management modules?

The only workable solution for Allwinner now is full support of the cedrus REing project, and using the code that comes from that, across the board. Any solution which has allwinner using any binary is now suspicious and allwinner will not be able to satisfactorilly prove the origins of such code or the fact that no licenses or other things are breached this time round. Plus, some well known REers probably need to go waste a lot of time on said binaries, and this time will in the end be billed to Allwinner. So Allwinner should give up on any strategy that involves binaries. Now. And have some chance of seeing this resolved amicably.
