Tesla's mission is to generate profit, nothing else. > they could outsource everything, from chip design to batteries to > software to > the car seats and so on but they dont because its better to reach > their goal > to do them internally This has everything to do with economics of scale and ultimately economizing on labour, thus lowering the value of Tesla's lithium-ion cells and increasing profit. For software the situation is very different, because the cost of reproducing a program is effectively zero. All labour goes into development. The goal of FFmpeg like every free software project is to create use-values. Any labour spent in excess of what is necessary to say be able to play MXF files is simply make-work. I'm not sure what the bit about censorship has to do with my point. /Tomas _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org https://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel To unsubscribe, visit link above, or email ffmpeg-devel-requ...@ffmpeg.org with subject "unsubscribe".
