The damage done prior cannot be reversed by a plain takedown of the infringing SDK version. What message does that send to these profiting off similar violations in the community? Abuse the GPL, get a slap on the wrist, rinse, wash and repeat? Based on prevailing factors surrounding this case, this is the most logical outcome. It's not necessarily fair, but its' logical. For these tilted by its' removal, fork FFmpeg, revert the commit and carry on, but let us avoid ad hominems. Be excellent to each other. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
