Anything that deprecates HLS which is a piece of randomly specified and implemented crap is welcome

If that's a "court order", there's traces, unlike the the Meity bans thingie which are designed as a legal loophole and almost impossible to lift.
No. That's why this was a bigger problem in India due to Indian ban of the only legitimate source.

Total bullshit. How do a non-profit org would make business style subscriptions ? There was already offers -from companies- trying to -buy- vlc in some way, that was always rejected, and by a far amount that your hypotetical subs would generate

Told by a friend which heard this from his cousin which heard this from another friend which heard this in a grocery ?

Naver manages part of a floor in Paris start-ups incubator "Station F" where they do share some space for a project founded by one of the companies doing VLC support.

That's just another internal Meltdown from a Spectre employee !

For once they don't leak our data.
