I would like to see the massive monetary award you would earn from his "profiting" from your hard work. Maby had you been nicer he would have worked this issue out to your satisfaction by now, but you have been rude, threatening and outright unfriendly. Also note, any lawer he would contact would tell him NOT to admit any wrong doing because then you would demand tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollers in compensation and would have is confession to use against him in court.... I would advise any 3rd party company that considers using ffmpeg as part of their software to make sure they have at least a few lawyers on staff to check the every single detail of the licence is followed. nhaskins: they expect him to publicly open him self to liability by admitting he wilfully broke their licence, they expect him to pay tens if not hundreds of thousands of dollars for said violation, and then im sure they also expect him to pay him a % of any money his site makes from ad's and donations. Also they expect him to host on his servers source for ever version of ffmpeg hes used since he started making mediacoder. I can pretty much guarantee this wouldn't have been an issue if stan hadnt closed the source for mediacoder(due to nobody helping him develop it) FOSS/Linux zelots will attack and belittle anything thats not FOSS I have watched it for years, even have a few old friends who badmouth windows because its COSS and everything should be "free" I have lost alot of respect for some of the people behind FFMPEG after reading how they respond to Stan and others, being rude, standoffish and down right pricks dosnt help your cause, infact, in many peoples eyes, your attitude (the one seen from the likes of rbultje and diego, who have been very rude even tho stan clearly wanted to clear this up) Just because you deal with idiots every day dosnt mean you have the right to treat people baddly, If you where doing this for a real job, you would be fired for the way you talk to and treat people like stan, I know, I have seen people who make 6 figuars fired for how they treated people.... Mind you, i have an iq exceding 130 and the lgpl/gpl in places a greek to me...or is that Latin....) little note from a teacher I had many years ago, If you want people to respond to and interact to you in a positive way, you need to have a positive attitude when dealing with them. You would be surprised how often this is HARD to do but also how often it ends up working, I have had people everybody said where "impossible" to deal with endup becoming very easy to deal with when the proper attitude was applied to your dealings with them, little note: being a rude prick never works in your favor. ________________________________________________ FFmpeg issue tracker <[email protected]> <https://roundup.ffmpeg.org/issue1162> ________________________________________________
