Is it time for FFmpeg to relicense as AGPL? That'd be fun to witness.

It'll just get forked (see terraform)

Terraform didn't get licensed as AGPL, just some weird proprietary license.

It'll still cause Google and many others to panic, but weird and custom licenses are even worse for attracting business than open source ones.
