      Oh wow, so they actually stripped off the attribution to ffmpeg and slapped their own name and license in place of it. Now they’re forced to restored the license they’re working to rewrite it all themselves so they can delete the copyrighted code. They’re so sorry though.

      Only after they were forced to. They’re criminal trash.

        The verbiage of the first sentence is very telling.

        We sincerely apologize for drawing so much attention…

        …which to me reads as…

        We’re sorry to our shareholders that we got caught with our pants down.
