[FFmpeg-devel] Possible license violation

[Matej Knopp]

Hi,

Air Video indeed does distribute a FFMpeg build. The source code used
to build FFMpeg can be downloaded from

http://inmethod.com/air-video/licenses.html

The LGPL/GPL/other licenses are included in the bundle.

Would you mind explaining me how exactly is Air Video violating FFMpeg
license so that I can fix it?
