HallOfShame

I have to admit that i am a great supporter of the open source and free software idea! That explains why i mostly use for my daily activities open source or free software.

Anyway... This post is not to introduce myself, but to express my anger about some commercial companies that violate the licenses (like GPL) of the open source software. They use parts of the code or the whole libraries in their commercial software, without at least crediting the original authors! That's is even more ridiculous when the they public this violation... like the one i came across...

So, here it is... this is the Hall of Shame of FFmpeg.

FFmpeg is a command line tool that is composed of a collection of free software / open source libraries. It includes libavcodec, an audio/video codec library used by several other projects, and libavformat, an audio/video container mux and demux library. The name of the project comes from the MPEG video standards group, together with "FF" for "fast forward".
