FFmpeg to Google: Fund us or stop sending bugs

Fully on FFmpeg team side, many companies approach to FOSS is only doing so when it sounds good on their marketing karma, leech otherwise.

Most of them would just pirate in the old days, and most FOSS licences give them clear conscience to behave as always.

This is why many have warned against things like MIT licence. Yes, it gives you source code and does easily get incorporated into a lot of projects but it comes at the cost of potential abuse.

Yes, GPL 3 is a lot ideologically but it was trying to limit excessive leeching.

Now that I have opened the flood gates of a 20 year old debate, time to walk away.
