Hi All,
There has been discussion on the mailing list several times about the
inclusion of support for closed source components (codecs, formats,
filters, etc) in the main ffmpeg codebase.
Also the removal of libNDI happened without general consensus, so a vote
is necessary to justify the removal.
So here is a call to the voting committee [1] to decide on the following
two questions:
1) Should libNDI support be removed from the ffmpeg codebase?
This question needs some context for people to know why the library was
removed, and what they are voting for.
The trac ticket and relevant discussion threads should be linked to, or
summarized.

https://trac.ffmpeg.org/ticket/7589
2) Should patches using closed source libraries which are not considered
"System Libraries" according to the GPL be rejected?
In addition to the threads above these might also be of some relevance:

http://ffmpeg.org/pipermail/ffmpeg-devel/2019-March/241067.html
Feel free to add more threads with relevant discussion if I missed them.
Deadline for voting is 7 days from now.
This could use a longer deadline, IMO. Especially if discussion could
happen before some people decide to cast a vote.
Ok, let's it make 14 days from now the deadline then.
Thanks,
Marton
