Isnt this the same for all options of full time payment we have ? Consider FFlabs, you can look at who is being paid by FFlabs, its being mentioned in various places. Then look at what these people do, so you know what they are paid for. It may give the impression of more privacy but iam not sure it really is that much more private. the list of contractors and employees for such a company would have to be kept secret and people would need to use a pseudonym. use TOR and so on. That said, using a pseudonym is possible with SPI too to some extend. One can just use a pseudonym, seperate mail address, TOR to post a proposal. And if one likes, privately tell interrested parties who they are. SPI will need their real name i think and this will IIUC be known to the banks and government and so on. So its not full anonymity but maybe its similar to the light privacy other companies provide thx [...] --=20 Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB I know you won't believe me, but the highest form of Human Excellence is to question oneself and others. -- Socrates --ZYoBxuawanbvoiiA Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iF0EABEIAB0WIQSf8hKLFH72cwut8TNhHseHBAsPqwUCZTvf2wAKCRBhHseHBAsP qwsBAJ4kmNHUoneFmoiAllfo4V3XkEymOQCfZdnM3jd8TwzKI38bahW6a/jry/g= =VFmF -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ZYoBxuawanbvoiiA-- --===============1469304922891945373== Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Disposition: inline _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-request@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe". --===============1469304922891945373==--
