“Their own” is a bit misleading. It’s largely a subset of the people who implemented libjxl in the first place, but this time in Rust.

The top three contributors to the reference implementation are also Google employees. https://github.com/libjxl/libjxl/graphs/contributors?all=1

That’s what I was getting at, yes. (I contributed to both and am sitting with another core contributor right now.)

I'm sure those implementers got their fair share of the Google profit or at least a nominal donation for doing most of the work of building out a feature enhancement

right?
