I like that this would result in a steady income stream. I think its a good idea, and iam happy to provide companies with extended security support on old releases. > > Absolutely not.

I certainly can relate to the "no releases" design, and like this too But i think FFmpeg is too big to have no releases I mean, We have companies who want releases (cant say who and what exactly because its non public info) These companies will pay for releases, so someone will continue making releases. Its better if that someone is us, better for the quality of releases and better for our income thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB What is kyc?
