Hi,

I have just posted a patchset to the ffmpeg-devel mailing list that
relicenses yadif from GPL to LGPL.

I have not posted the patches themselves to libav-devel as they are
against the ffmpeg repository and I did not mean to cause confusion.

The first three patches of the patch set revert a set of revert
commits that were performed before the original author stated that he
was OK with the relicensing.

If nothing unexpected happens I will proceed now as I had described in
my earlier mails regarding this topic. I would like to thank everyone
who has agreed or helped making this possible by whatever
contribution.

If there are open questions regarding this or complaints about the way
this is being done, don't hesitate me (on or off-list).

Best regards and a happy new year,

Robert

P.S.: I can see that the fourth patch with the actual license change
has not made it to the list yet. I suspect it may need moderator
approval because of its long to list (all original authors are
explicitly addressed in the to list).
