This was just posted on the allwinner github account:

https://github.com/allwinner-zh/media-codec

This contains:

https://github.com/allwinner-zh/media-codec/blob/master/sunxi-cedarx/LIBRARY/CODEC/VIDEO/DECODER/libvdecoder.so

This binary contains symbols from both ffmpeg (LGPL, but altered/hacked 
up) and libVP62 (anti-compiled from java, and taken off the web in 
2006). The LGPL forces Allwinner to produce the full and complete source 
code of these binaries. How they are going to explain libVP62 to On2 
Technologies, now google, is beyond me (cfr. 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VP6)

With all the previous "indiscretions", it was always possible to claim 
that there was some chance that Allwinner was not the source of the many
violations. It was always pretty clear that Allwinner was the source, 
there were just too many coincidences, the violation was too all 
encompassing, and not a single device maker spilled the goods. The fact 
that they threw out a kernel tree with most code and all binaries 
removed, was, despite being a ludicrous and laughable action, another 
very clear sign that Allwinner was indeed the source of these 
violations.

Now however, the fact that allwinner posted this very clearly shows that 
Allwinner is the source. It is absolutely unequivocal this time round. 

To top this off, it is 6 months after the last GPL violation shitstorm. 
This puts serious doubts behind the claims that Allwinner truly is 
learning and willing to cooperate.

Allwinner, it is very high time to start playing nice. You've been at it 
for 4 years now and seem utterly incapable of or unwilling to change.
