The problem isn’t giving access to users, hell it’s just Linux on an sd card that they can fuck with all they like. But it’s supporting that. Getting all the stuff to work together requires a nightmare of version specifications and some ugly hacks. We can’t support that and our customers wouldn’t want it. By your description, using Linux in any embedded solution isn’t allowed.
So it was inconvenient for you, and that is somehow the FFmpeg squelching innovation? Grow up.
I only commented on you saying that switching to dynamic linking should be enough, which would not matter as long as you didn’t also make it possible for the user to relink a modified library if they wanted. That would be hard given your own description of users not being able to download or install anything on said system.
Not inconvenient, but impossible really. I get that most people don’t really understand embedded systems, but it’s a shame when innovation is blocked because of it.
Talk about blame shifting. FFmpeg didn’t kill the project. Your own negligence did.
