FFmpeg is a great project but their twitter is embarrassing and should not be news

Why, their Twitter seems reasonable and combative towards companies who want to exploit their results without contribution ?

google is a customer of fflabs and has enrolled them in summer of code. They also provide free fuzzing. ffmpeg is a foss, gpl-licensed project. nobody has any obligation to contribute, thus it isn't exploitation.
