We previously had a similar debate regarding realmedia (search for "Codec
wrapper for librv11 and RMHD muxer/demuxer").
The debate comes down to this:
- it's clear that for the company, there's a huge advantage in patches
being upstream. For example, upstream does maintenance/upkeep for free.
- it's not clear whether there is any benefit to the community / project in
this patch being upstream. For example, how do we test this code in fate?
The same way you would test other hardware with fate, fate is really not
the issue.
The fact that something is for sale does not mean it's a general benefit to
the FFmpeg developer or user community.
How is this different from merging hardware support to the upstream linux
kernel? Do we really *not want* companies making money from ffmpeg forks
to try to upstream their changes and have an interest in fixing issues or
adding features to the vanilla version?

Marton
