Comment (by gjdfgh):

 >There is apparently some misunderstanding regarding the word thieve (and
 liar): Some people seem to believe that this is meant as an insult which
 is of course not true.

 That's just... completely out of this world. No, you can't hide your
 insults behind trying to explain them rationally.

 Libav didn't steal anything. The infrastructure they grabbed was theirs,
 and also they were a part of ffmpeg at the time of the fork (the separate
 ffmpeg identity was created only later when MiNi and some others declared
 they wanted to continue under the name ffmpeg).
