I don't need sympathy. I just warn others to steer clear of ffmpeg.

    Couldn't you rather provide the name of your company, so we know what software we should steer clear of?

    Don't worry, I'm sure you couldn't afford our products. And I bet engineers at my company have contributed over 10x what you'll ever contribute to useful open source libraries! But we can't all live in mom and dad's basement pretending we know what we're talking about, can we?

    @CannonFodder @Librerian
    Just a heads up, this isn't a good look for your Robotics business. As the owner, you're always representing your company. Getting into arguments and insulting people online doesn't exactly scream professionalism, or customer trust. Might want to think about how this reflects on your business.

    Not robotics, really - where did u get that from? But I tend to call a spade a spade. Most of my customers seem to like my straightforwardness and lack of bs. My company isn't so conventional - more like a group of engineers I've put together that make cool stuff and sometimes sell it to keep the place in business. It always amazes me how the revenue keeps flowing considering how little effort we put into the marketing side of things.

    Ah, the classic ad hominem, the mark of someone who has absolutely no problem backing up their bold claims with arguments, not just feelings! I wouldn't touch your products even if I got paid to do so, given your attitude in this thread alone.

    But we can't all live in mom and dad's basement pretending we know what we're talking about, can we?

    That's rich coming from someone who is confidently incorrect about how basic software licensing works...
