Are you a lawyer in his jurisdiction? If not, then the threats are 
meaningless. And do you even know if he _has_ distributed ffmpeg w/ 
"non-free"?? If not, then there is no issue.

How about, instead, simply pointing out what "non-free" means in the context 
of ffmpeg and why it's a bad idea.



Martin-
Unless you -really- need --enable-gpl and --enable-nonfree, I'd drop them 
both.  (see https://ffmpeg.org/legal.html)

z!
