I understand that if i hire a lawyer, he would represent my interrests
If i ask SPI (which i did as well), they would represent SPI interrests

FFmpeg cannot hire a lawyer. So its easy to complain that it didnt

FFlabs depends on FFmpeg so its interrests in terms of FFmpeg complying
to all laws should be aligned here

And you are at the same level here, you can ask any lawyer you want.

thx
