Many in the FFmpeg community argue, with reason, that it is unreasonable for a trillion-dollar corporation like Google, which heavily relies on FFmpeg in its products, to shift the workload of fixing vulnerabilities to unpaid volunteers.

Google may once have felt an obligation to support the open source software they rely on, but that day’s long gone. They have become nothing more than a skeleton of distilled capitalism, shedding the pretense of being of benefit to society along with their “Don’t be evil” motto.

Google’s behavior makes perfect sense with the understanding that every single move, no matter how small, is only about generating more revenue.
