Any reason not to expect all the others to get reported now? If Unity wants to tear themselves down, might as well speed it up.
Comment on Unity bans VLC from Unity Store.

Front VLC blog, link in post above
“After months of slow back-and-forth over email trying to find a compromise, including offering to exclude LGPL code from the assets, Unity basically told us we were not welcome back to their Store, ever. Even if we were to remove all LGPL code from the Unity package.
Where it gets fun is that there are currently hundreds if not thousands of Unity assets that include LGPL dependencies (such as FFmpeg) in the Store right now. Enforcement is seemingly totally random, unless you get reported by someone, apparently.”

According to the article, unity is literally built on software that uses this licensing, so it’s weird that they’d start going against it now. Their runtime literally includes it

Time to report Unity to itself so it can ban itself from its store.

Is there legal grounds for selective enforcement of policies like that?
abhibeckert@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Depends on the reason for selective enforcement.

… so what you do is set up a rule that everybody will break - “no drinking with shoes on” - and only enforce it against people you want to kick out 👍

Imagine not using FFmpeg or anything that uses FFmpeg 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I suppose there are a lot of companies who would be glad to make you pay for their proprietary video standard, we would just pay for something formerly free 😟
