Videostream for Google Chromecast

They statically compile FFmpeg+x264 in Native-Client, and uses non-free modules.
Emails have been sent and never responded to. They continue to supply updates, and even admit to being aware about GPL in their "Configure" menu in the "More" section. They simply refuse to honor it by supplying \any\ source code.

I just love how this is the only issue that does not mention company (google and keyword chromecast) in the header. Well, I fixed that. Native Client (NaCl) is deprecated AFAIK, so it should be updated too.

Looks like a good reason for a ban...

Steps to take it down are simply to report the violation to

As I'm not a legal holder, I can't report the violation.
