  1. mpp

    Discontinued Media Process Platform (MPP) module [UnavailableForLegalReasons - Repository access blocked]

    Interestingly, the repo has a LICENSES folder that contains the text of the licenses used in the repo:

    https://archive.softwareheritage.org/browse/directory/ed4b20...

    And yep, they only included the most openly permissive ones there (APL2 and MIT), completely skipping everything else. Ugh.

  3. ffmpeg-rockchip

    FFmpeg with async and zero-copy Rockchip MPP & RGA support

    Not familiar with Rockchip. Plenty of searches come up with cases of people incorporating ffmpeg into Rockchip projects. I still see the license files and headers. What is different with this DMCA takedown?
