I'll send a patch with my new filter, to have some review.

If everything goes well, I'll go on with this step too.

At this moment, two people agreed to change the license of the 
tinterlace -  Thomas Mundt and Stefano Sabatini.
 From the git history I figured out that they wrote a quite big part of 
tinterlace. Other parts are written mainly by the maintainers of ffmpeg 
project.

That being said, will it be possible to change the tinterlace to LGPL?
