If they contribute nothing back, what are all the `google.com` email addresses in the git history doing? If they contribute nothing back, why are they listed as a customer of `fflabs.eu` which is apparently a private consulting company for ffmpeg run by some of the ffmpeg lead maintainers?

What do we think the lesson corporations are going to take from this is?

1) "You should file patches with your bug reports"

2) "Even when you submit patches and you hire the developers of OSS projects as consultants, you will still get dragged through the mud if you don't contribute a patch with every bug report you make, so you might as well not contribute anything back at all"
