How on earth is this defamation acceptable?
In fact iam not even sure what you talk about.
FFmpeg is not a propriatery licensed project

It seems to me you are trying to rally your followers against me, with
these attacks, thats really lame IMHO
If you have real arguments, you can state them without these attacks

because doing so would make no sense, BIOS is unrelated to FFmpeg and
multimedia
But if you do, noone would attack you like you do, we would just
have a normal discussion about why you think this makes sense, and
i think you dont think that makes sense so we would agree that BIOS
doesnt belong in FFmpeg

If OTOH you would create something related, you could name it FFmpeg-<whatever>
nothing wrong here, other people do it to, github has 26300 hits for FFmpeg

If its something that has users, maintained, ... but is not accepted in
main FFmpeg. Sure we can list it on our download page too.

thx
