There must be a good *reason* why Christian still maintains ffmpeg

Maybe he likes the extra work??
Maybe because he activates some 5 more built-in encoders in ffmpeg and
links it against some 5 more libraries like libmp3lame and libx264,
which we can't since they are not in Debian.
That's what I thought. Thanks for confirming it.
And no, it turns out he
does not set value on collaboration with the Debian pkg-multimedia team
or even attempt to keep his libraries at least binary compatible to the
ones in Debian.
OK.
Please concern yourself with the multimedia patent and codec situation
in Debian next time, before you post bullshit to debian-devel.
LOL
Let me quote siretart@debian.org :
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2010/05/msg01131.html
what licensing issues do you see in rtmpdump, ffmpeg or mplayer?! they
are all (L)GPL which is perfectly DFSG compatible. Before you come up
with FUD about patents, DMCA, etc. - pretty please don't. there is
already enough FUD floating around.
So, you say, "concern myself with patent issues", and Reinhard says,
"ignore the patent issues".
