GitHub disabled Rockchip's Linux MPP repository following a DMCA takedown from the FFmpeg team. Rockchip allegedly copied FFmpeg code verbatim, removed copyright notices and authors, and relicensed it from LGPL 2.1 to Apache. FFmpeg privately contacted Rockchip about the violation nearly two years ago with no response. FFmpeg now demands Rockchip either comply with LGPL terms or remove all infringing files. Despite being aware of the license issue in public communications, Rockchip has deferred addressing it indefinitely.
