As an interim solution for the repo at https://github.com/allwinner-zh/media-codec (with the aim to keep the glue code as LGPL while the .so libraries as closed-source), would it make sense to split the repository into two parts? That is, have a https://github.com/allwinner-zh/media-codec-lib repository that will contain the two .so closed-source libraries. Then, the https://github.com/allwinner-zh/media-codec repository will include the "media-codec-lib" as a 'git submodule'.
