Wydm? Rockchip copied their code, changed the license and didnt attribute FFmpeg. FFmpeg is a small team of enthusiasts who are responsible for plenty of important innovation and remain largely unpaid even with such substantial widespread use of their code in like SOOOO MANY big software projects. It isn't their fault that people aren't following the simple rules of the license to use their code.

    In this case, sure, idk. I've had a project shut down because ffmpeg threatened law suits unless we open sourced our own custom libraries that work along side ffmpeg. And it's not just the source code, they want full build environments. Our lawyers wouldn't touch it, so we just shut it all down. Now I use gstreamer and avoid ffmpeg like the plague.
