FFmpeg should just dual license at this point. If you're wanting shit fixed. You pay for it (based on usage) or GTFO. Should solve all of the current issues around this.

You mean, Google reports a bug, and ffmpeg devs say "GTFO"? Let's assume this is a real bug: is that what you would the ffmpeg developers to say to Google?

I absolutely understand the issue that a filthy-rich company tries to leech off of real unpaid humans. I don't understand how that issue leads to "GTFO, we won't fix these bugs". That makes no sense to me.

People would rather spitefully stub their toe after being warned of the table's location by someone they don't like rather than take heed.
