Microsoft employee:

Hi, This is a high priority ticket and the FFmpeg version is currently used in a highly visible product in Microsoft. We have customers experience issues with Caption during Teams Live Event. Please help

Maintainer's comment on twitter:

After politely requesting a support contract from Microsoft for long term maintenance, they offered a one-time payment of a few thousand dollars instead.

This is unacceptable.

And further:

The lesson from the xz fiasco is that investments in maintenance and sustainability are unsexy and probably won't get a middle manager their promotion but pay off a thousandfold over many years.

But try selling that to a bean counter

Fucking suits. They don't even care about the bottom-line, they just care about their own salary and benefits.

Pay for support or get fucked M$

MIT license to make money is bad because of this. You shouldn't make money or ask me for support in first place if you arent sharing earnings bitch. This should be forbidden by law because software is given AS IS.
