How on earth is this defamation acceptable? In fact iam not even sure what you talk about. FFmpeg is not a propriatery licensed project It seems to me you are trying to rally your followers against me, with these attacks, thats really lame IMHO If you have real arguments, you can state them without these attacks > You are of course welcome to publish SDR in a different project that > is not FFmpeg. > > I have been working on BIOS code recently but I haven't decided to > create FFBIOS and put it in the main FFmpeg repo. because doing so would make no sense, BIOS is unrelated to FFmpeg and multimedia But if you do, noone would attack you like you do, we would just have a normal discussion about why you think this makes sense, and i think you dont think that makes sense so we would agree that BIOS doesnt belong in FFmpeg If OTOH you would create something related, you could name it FFmpeg- nothing wrong here, other people do it to, github has 26300 hits for FFmpeg If its something that has users, maintained, ... but is not accepted in main FFmpeg. Sure we can list it on our download page too. thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB The real ebay dictionary, page 1 "Used only once" - "Some unspecified defect prevented a second use" "In good condition" - "Can be repaird by experienced expert" "As is" - "You wouldnt want it even if you were payed for it, if you knew ..."
