(at least in the february 2024 iteration) Alternatively i can offer that i work on merging the code to git master on a euro per hour rate with a limit. But again the actual merge is not guranteed failing that, i see as only options left to either do a quick vote on the finished Coverity bug fixing SoW, so a simple "is this text ok", and if yes nothing anyone says later can create another problem. Or I can resign from my involvement in managing STF in february and someone else can take that over. I never really wanted to manage it anyway, i was just trying to help to get 200k€ to FFmpeg developers for their relentless volunteer maintaince of the project so they would have something in exchange for all they gave up of their own time thx [...] -- Michael GnuPG fingerprint: 9FF2128B147EF6730BADF133611EC787040B0FAB Breaking DRM is a little like attempting to break through a door even though the window is wide open and the only thing in the house is a bunch of things you dont want and which you would get tomorrow for free anyway
