So you say.
No offence intended but this is exactly why it's important to have a point
of contact. Whatever "the ffmpeg project" is, it's a sort of amorphous
blob of people who claim to be involved in development, with no real
definition of who's in charge, who can speak with authority, who can say
"yes do that, that's OK" and have that actually be binding. Right now,
anyone could say anything and someone else could countermand it a week
later.
Sure, I could go ask on gnu-violations.org, but who are they other than
yet another third party with no legal relationship to the informal group
of software engineers who appear, notionally, to be in charge.
You see why this is a problem.
