FFmpeg to Google Fund Us or Stop Sending Bugs: https://thenewstack.io/ffmpeg-to-google-fund-us-or-stop-sending-bugs/ by @sjvn

The clash between small volunteer-driven, open-source projects, such as FFmpeg & the billion-dollar companies built on their work, which demand rapid security patches, is heating up.

FFmpeg to Google: Fund Us or Stop Sending Bugs

A lively discussion about open source, security, and who pays the bills has erupted on Twitter.

@sjvn this is actually very simple to solve:

  • Make #Support paid-only and reject submission from non - subscribers.

This something an increasing number of #FLOSS projects do: Rejecting submissions of non-allowlisted users without a valid #SupportSubscription at time of submission!

  • So if #Google is literally demanding an #SLA they should OFC pay for that.

Anything else is just being a rich asshole corporation leeching!
