KSV has been distributing rtmpdump patches that contain actual Adobe binary
code. This is a clear violation of Adobe's copyright, first, and invites legal
trouble to the project that we have painstakingly avoided all these years.

Additionally, this is in direct violation of the GPL, which requires that
source code be provided for all modifications. Rather than admit his
wrongdoing and trying to work something out with us, he has resorted to name
calling.

Nobody will prevent you from contributing to the project if you abide by the
license and don't violate anyone's copyright. If you distribute my code
combined with code stolen from others, you get trouble.
