"Refused" ? In Libav any patch has to go through review, anything that had been put in review had been managed as any other patches by any other sources.

Libav is about rules and not leaders.

After seeing a few of the comments from libav developers here and on IRC, you can see the bitterness is still alive. :-(

if everything that somebody from the libav side says here is automatically labelled bitterness and downvoted, maybe you can understand why some are indeed bitter.

I've never heard of this split up until today, why are you still salty? You won, you can take over the world now.

Your users don't care about rules, and rules need manpower.

If your rules prevent you from keeping your software secure, you don't have enough manpower to do what is in your user's best interests.

As far as I can tell, libav is the one with the rules and multiple developers. And now ffmpeg is the one with no rules and zero developers?
