Hi,
I have always understood the 'free' in open source software, as being free
like in freedom - not like in free beer.
Why is Debian (and Ubuntu...) taking that frredom from ffmpeg and us, the
users?
When I write 'apt-get install ffmpeg', I trust that ffmpeg is being
installed, But it is not! It is a version of ffmpeg, that is maintained by
people that forked ffmpeg, and who wants us tu use their fork instead. They
even go so far, as telling us that ffmpeg "IS DEPRECATED". Nonsense!
Please correct this gross mistake, and give us (the users) our freedom
back. The freedom of choice, that all open source is built on.
David
