FFmpeg has faced some criticism for this DMCA takedown
Such as?
Welcome to TomsHardware, where we do 0 research in our “journalism”
Random people saying shit like “why do open source, if you still sue?” or “Copyright needs to be abolished don’t use it for anything”
It’s really narrow minded to see it like that honestly, but they unfortunately do exist.
The first thing that came to my mind is that a DMCA takedown on GitHub doesn’t stop them from using it, but only from sharing their own additions with the world.
But sharing code is when a license like LGPL really has an effect in what you must do to comply…
Sounds like RokChip really needed to put their hand on that hot stove top to understand they’d get burned. Hope they learn their lesson and improve their handling of FOSS code in the future.
Sounds like it will be fixed soon
