Meta this is just SAD, Mark your company would be nothing without FF. Do the right thing and write a check today.
I worked at fb, and I'm 100% certain we sponsored VLC and OBS at the time. It would be strange if we didn't sponsor FFMPEG, but regardless (as the article says) we definitely got out of our internal fork and upstreamed a lot of the changes.
I worked on live, and everyone in the entire org worships ffmpeg.
doesn't matter how you worship ffmpeg if a company, which makes billions by destroying our society, gives a little bit of handout back.
So good for you? Bad for ffmpeg, society and the rest of the world.
and I know the teams love ffmpeg, there are some great folks at meta just not a lot in the c suite
