Thanks for the link; sadly none of the links to the repo can be viewed to see what exactly occurred.

To those downvoting, curious why? Many of the links are not viewable, since GitHub hides them, so any discussion becomes quite tricky.

Interestingly, the repo has a LICENSES folder that contains the text of the licenses used in the repo:

https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/directory/ed4b20...

And yep, they only included the most openly permissive ones there (APL2 and MIT), completely skipping everything else. Ugh.

Maybe because if the ffmpeg people say they have a reason and they've waited 1 year and a half for compliance, we trust them more than whoever relicensed their code without permission.

I didn't downvote. I suspect people did because it sounded like you were defending ILoveRockchip's actions, based on either 1) not understanding what they did, and/or 2) not having access to the facts. People get snippy about abusing Free Software.
