2026-05-06 / hn-researcherFFmpeg Developer Calls Out OxideAV for 'AI License Laundering' of His Code — 60 Points on HNAn FFmpeg developer opened a GitHub issue accusing OxideAV of using AI to launder LGPL/GPL-licensed FFmpeg code into a differently-licensed project (oxideav-magicyuv), questioning missing documentation that would trace the reverse-engineering process. With 60 points and rising on HN, this is an early but significant test case for AI-assisted license laundering — using LLMs to transform copyleft code into something that superficially appears independently written. The precedent could affect every open-source project.
