If no one challenges, then either no one looked at it, or everyone that looked at it was fine with it. Where is the issue then? You're looking for a solution for a problem that doesn't exist. If a patch is disliked, it will be challenged, regardless of the incentive behind it. If a patch is not challenged, then it was either ignored or liked, and likewise, the incentive behind it had no relevance. This patch you propose will not change that. Sponsored work has been disclosed before without any kind of guidelines. This patch, in its current form, is both unnecessary and completely unacceptable. If you want something people will not NAK on sight, write one where you require to double check who the copyright belongs to in case of sponsorship to prevent wrong commit authorship, and to *suggest* stating sponsorship status if the copyright ultimately belongs to the developer. Drop any mention about remuneration disclosure if it was not public to begin with, and then it can be discussed. _______________________________________________ ffmpeg-devel mailing list ffmpeg-devel@ffmpeg.org http://ffmpeg.org/mailman/listinfo/ffmpeg-devel
