Since the other poster deleted their post, I will hazard a guess as to what they said.
This work was done by Martin Stránský from Red Hat, as with most of the other linux hardware acceleration and Wayland enablement work that has happened over the past several years.
But Red Hat is not very popular right now, so even mentioning that they might be due credit for this work is therefore considered potential "rage bait".
I very much don't want to see the thread devolve into another argument either, but I also hope that can be avoided without completely ignoring such details as the engineer that did this work (and lots of other work) in Firefox.
Disclosure: I work at Red Hat
- robertlagrant 3y agoVery cool.
- ptsneves 3y agoI am a hard core open source guy and make a living with it. It gives me huge grief to see people complaining about red hat. Red hat employs many many people and contributes a big lot. I personally do not like RHEL but worked in a company that more than could justify the RHEL license and even so went for centos. It disgusted me even further because when there were bugs to the red hat bug trackers they went and found their solutions. I support open source, I believe it needs to be sustainable financially otherwise it will just be replaced by closed source competitors and the world will be better off.
