Kieran is an independent developer. Whatever history he may have with NDI is undisclosed. Whatever vendetta / ill intent he may hold against NDI still remains irrelevant to the breach of the GPL, as shown in (b). (b). Here's where NDI really nailed their fate in the coffin: >ffmpeg -L NewTek NDI Copyright (C)2015-2018 NewTek, inc. v3.7.1.0 ffmpeg version 4.0 Copyright (c) 2000-2018 the FFmpeg developers built with Microsoft (R) C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 18.00.40629 for x64 configuration: --toolchain=msvc --prefix=/d/Builds/User/Cary/ffmpeg/build --bindir=/d/Builds/User/Cary/ffmpeg/build/bin/x64/release --datadir=/d/Builds/User/Cary/ffmpeg/build/bin/x64/release/ffpresets --incdir=/d/Builds/User/Cary/ffmpeg/build/include --libdir=/d/Builds/User/Cary/ffmpeg/build/lib/x64/release --shlibdir=/d/Builds/User/Cary/ffmpeg/build/bin/x64/release --disable-shared --enable-static --disable-postproc --disable-ffplay --enable-debug --enable-optimizations --optflags='-O2 -Oy- -Oi' --extra-cflags='-GS -analyze- -Gy -Zc:wchar_t -Zc:forScope -Gm- -fp:precise -WX- -Gd -MD -EHsc -we4013 -DX264_API_IMPORTS' --extra-ldflags='-NXCOMPAT -DYNAMICBASE -DEBUG -OPT:REF -OPT:ICF ' --enable-zlib --enable-libmfx --enable-libndi_newtek --enable-nonfree --enable-libx264 --enable-gpl libavutil 56. 14.100 / 56. 14.100 libavcodec 58. 18.100 / 58. 18.100 libavformat 58. 12.100 / 58. 12.100 libavdevice 58. 3.100 / 58. 3.100 libavfilter 7. 16.100 / 7. 16.100 libswscale 5. 1.100 / 5. 1.100 libswresample 3. 1.100 / 3. 1.100 This version of ffmpeg has nonfree parts compiled in. Therefore it is not legally redistributable. This is their offending ticket: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/7589 It is self evident that Newtek sabotaged themselves here, and that counts against them. Kieran's actions cannot be construed as an extension of assumptions made in (a), but rather, maintenance duty. -Dennis. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
