This is slander

libpostproc was simply deleted from libav.

The messed up repository you created in 2012, was never maintained by anyone

of course copying something in a messed up form and deleting support for it is not worth 5k euro
but thats not what this project is about

Look at your code:
https://git.videolan.org/?p=libpostproc.git
The last commit to it was from 2012 thats unmaintained since 12 years
2012-08-21	Felix Paul...	Fixe compilation failure due to missing libavutil heade...

And to proof all support was deleted, heres teh commit as reference:

commit b315042c8ce984bec431c5965120853a843cbfa5

    Remove libpostproc.

    This library does not fit into Libav as a whole and its code is just a
    maintenance burden.  Furthermore it is now available as an external project,
    which completely obviates any reason to keep it around.
