“The position of the FFmpeg X account is that somehow disclosing vulnerabilities is a bad thing. Google provides more assistance to open source software projects than almost any other organization, and these debates are more likely to drive away potential sponsors than to attract them.”
Yeah slave, stop complaining get your ass back to work because I’m about to dump more obligatory work on your lap that you will fix for no pay, I don’t care you have a family to feed!
Your complaining about not having any sponsor for the free work that we sell for millions of dollars may cause that you don’t get any sponsors!
The entitlement and mental gymnastics here at display is insane
Google has made billions off of open source software they got and used for free. Sure, they gave back a few fractions of a penny for each million they made with it, they gave back with adding some softwares here and there when it strategically suited them, but the simple fact is that without open source software, Google wouldn’t exist today, definitely not the way they do now.
Hell, the internet wouldn’t exist as it does today, it would be a tiny fraction of what it is today without open source software. Open source software is amazing yet most people in the world don’t even know that it exists, that it’s a concept, and that people are doing this
Yet there are countless companies profiting majorly from the work of others without giving back a dime. There are multinationals that profit in the billions from open source software without giving back properly or at all.
We need an updated GPL amendment or something that requires companies to start giving back productively in some form or another once they start majorly profiting from the work of open source projects.
