Can we PLEASE make ffmpeg use GPL for everything?
Actually, can we do that for just all open source software. I'm getting kinda tired of large multinationals using open source for free to make billions over billions and then give back a dollar or so for each of those...
Maybe there are exceptions here and there but most companies give back shit
That's cute. As if commercial entities don't contribute to foss ๐คฃ
I bet you there is at least 3M worth of investment from folks bring paid in this thread.
But they don't though, they take more & give less (if not outright steal)
No, they don't. And I didn't know where you guys came up with this. You honestly think any real development to shit like k8s, Kafka, and most of Apache foundation software is just being tinkered with people working for free?
Sure there are areas where there is more "free" support. But the shit that runs servers and the web, highly highly corporate supported. Nothing about it is free.
& then they steal & engage in rugpull & never contribute.
