This is just an ad. I don’t know why Unity doesn’t want LGPL software on its storefront, but it has every right to ban the license if it wants to. As demonstrated by the consultancy part of this business still existing, there’s no technical requirement to order your unity assets through the Unity store. Plus, the agreement speaks in no uncertain terms when it comes to (L)GPL code, it specifically mentions those two libraries.
I’m not a fan of someone starting a company “Videolabs” with an orange traffic cone for a logo, selling VLC integrations. At first I thought I was on the VLC website.
Videolabs is what was created instead of trying to make Videolan closed source or for profit. The founder of Videolan is the founder of Videolabs. Fully intentional.
“Every right”, sure. But people have just as much right to decide that they’re not OK with the pattern of behavior from Unity, to talk about it, and to avoid doing business with them as a result of it.

Seems like they’re not just “someone”.
They’re major contributors and that makes it a bit better, but I’m still not a fan of them using names and logos that are this close to VIdeolan/VLC.
I’m sure Videolan is fine with it, but as someone external this gives off strong fake/scam vibes.
