Why does there need to be a "guild"?
Because FFmpeg developers need to make a living.
If you want one, start one.
I'm not an FFmpeg developer.
Second, a cloud-based book that people buy. It would have to have a reader that people buy. The
reader would read an encrypted cloud, would be read-only, would resist host
probing/capture/screenshots, and would save _nothing_ locally.
Again, why? (And of course a book would have a copyright, but that has little to do with how
distribution is licensed.)
You do not seem to understand open-source projects at all.
The book and the reader and the private forum would have everything to do with FFmpeg but nothing to
do with FFmpeg legally.
If FFmpeg is to continue to be free and open source, there needs to be a for-profit business
attached to FFmpeg. I will contribute to the book for free. I will donate pages that I already have
and will donate more. I'm retired. I already have a guaranteed income.
