More than annoying, it's weird. I've never once in my life encountered
anything like this. It's completely unnecessary, completely
self-destructive, and appears to gain nothing for anyone.
Yes, we need to use only corporate code.
Come on, Paul, that is a silly reply. You are saying that the only
alternative to FFmpeg's present situation is to use corporate code
(proprietary licences)? That claim is not logical: there is no reason
why use of a free software licence requires project insiders to be
hostile and destructive to each other, or to their users. And it is
disproved by evidence: there are many free software projects where the
insiders behave more kindly and constructively, my favourite example
being Python.
Taken on its face, your reply seems to show a belief that no better
culture is even possible for the FFmpeg project. That attitude is itself
"completely unnecessary, completely self-destructive, and appears to
gain nothing for anyone."
