IMHO the hostile takeover of the ffmpeg project by the libav guys (Fabrice Bellard had to wield trademark to force them to rename the fork) and intense FUD campaign were much bigger issues.

It’s not a takeover – it was a takeover when the trademark was used to force everyone to fork.

But the majority of the project, the people owning the servers, technology, coding the most part, etc – those were the ones renaming to libav.

Your mad that the owner of a trademark told others they can't use the trademark?
