I used to work at Intel as a product line architect. I sat on 3
divisional planning councils, including graphics processors, and
co-chaired one. Later, I represented Wyse Technology in industry
technology standards, engineering working groups.
I outlined what appeared to me to be the direction of open source video
development: That what is developed using open source code is migrated
to FPGAs and hence to GPUs.
(I understand correctly that you are describing your personal experience
copying open-source technology into proprietary hardware, right?)
I was in product planning at Intel 40 years ago. There was no open
source technology. But computer & chip companies in California and Texas
regularly cooperated via industry standards organizations and
engineering working groups. It was the same when I worked for Wyse and
the Gang of Nine in the mid 1980s, but with cooperation across the world
including Epson, Olivetti, and (informally) Philips. All of that was
considered Standards work, not collusion, and I expect that the same
sort of thing links ffmpeg with the leading video accelerator suppliers.
I didn't know this, from a technical pov I find it extremely surprising, from
a moral pov a little concerning, from a legal perspective I am appalled
and I hope the people responsible will get their response one day.
Why would you be surprised, concerned, appalled? From your active role
in ffmpeg-user, I assumed you were in ffmpeg development. Was that
assumption incorrect?
I asked if I have it right (correct).
I wonder how you can ask people who weren't there if something
that you witnessed is right...
I haven't witnessed anything. That's why I asked if I was right
regarding the video technology development track. To use an American
euphemism, I'm just connecting the dots.
