Please can you define this in a precise way which does not rely upon 
interpreting the GPL?  There are certainly differing opinions about exactly 
what it means, and we need to know exactly what we are voting on.

For example, you might consider rejecting a library only if none of the 
following are true:
(1) Full human-readable source code is available for everything which runs on 
the same processor as FFmpeg does.
(2) It implements a standardised API independent of any particular vendor 
(common to at least three separate vendors?).
(3) It interfaces with some common consumer hardware: a whole PC-like system 
containing it can be widely purchased off-the-shelf for less than 1000 EUR/USD, 
with all closed-source components provided as part of the operating system.

... or something like that.

Thanks,

- Mark
