[FFmpeg-devel] Emicsoft Coorp., possible license violation

[Franz Mayer1]

I was looking for a flv converter for my macbook and found this here:
Emicsoft FLV Converter for Mac (
http://www.emicsoft.com/download/emicsoft-flv-converter-for-mac.dmg), one
license for $30 or here for $35: http://www.flvconvertermac.net/index.html

I would bet, the windows programs contains the same libs.

After installing I was curious about what was installed. So I changed into
/Applications/Emicsoft\ FLV\ Converter\ for\ Mac.app/Contents/MacOS/ and
found
libavdevice.dylib
libconvert.dylib
libavformat.dylib
libpreview.dylib
libavcodec.dylib
libavutil.dylib
libswscale.dylib

This is the output from the command: strings lib * | grep -i gpl
