By that logic, any claim of "donation" to FFmpeg would be a lie.

That goes with Ampere, and it likewise goes with the RISC-V hardware "donated by Remlab Tmi" that is entirely dedicated to running FFmpeg FATE and FFmpeg tests. Or to all our infrastructure, literally none of which is legally owned by "FFmpeg", including the servers in Eastern Europe that Michael has been so vocally grateful for.

And let's not forget the sponsors of "FFmpeg" booths at various trade shows. All those donours want to donate to "FFmpeg", even though that's not legally a thing.

You're being unnecessarily aggressive and accusatory. You've made it clear previously that you didn't want to spend more free time on non-technical FFmpeg stuff, so it's a bit rich to criticise people for working around the absence of a suitable FFmpeg non-profit. And TBH, it's demeaning of the tremendous work that Martin has done for FFmpeg with that machine, whether in FFmpeg or in tooling.

Br,
