This is a matter of how someone might interpret "depends".
If you meant "effectively will cease to exist", that is incorrect.
If you meant that VideoLAN depends on Unity the same way I depend on the 5 dollars in my pocket to be fungible...VideoLAN still exists without Unity, same as I exist without the 5 dollars in my pocket.
There's nothing more to it, afaik.
- glenstein 3y agoRight, I think this is a nothingburger - they 'depend' in the sense of leaving it up to Unity to honor a defined set of responsibilities on their side of a relationship. I think there was no need to get into whether this posed any sort of existential threat to VLC.
