The bug in question revolves around support for codec that has never been in wide use, and was only in obscure use over 25 years ago.
- Brian_K_White 1y agoThere is no "the bug". The discussion is about what to do with the power of bug-finding tools.
- zamadatix 1y ago"The bug" in question refers to the one found by the bug-finding tool the article claims triggered the latest episode of debate. Nobody is claiming it's the only bug, just that this triggering bug highlighted was a clear example of where there is actually such a clear cut line. Google does contribute some patches for codecs they actually consume e.g. https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/b1febda061955c6f4bfbc1a75918b5e75e7d7f80 https://github.com/FFmpeg/FFmpeg/commit/b1febda061955c6f4bfb..., the bug in question was just an example of one the bug finding tool found that they didn't consume - which leads to this conversation.
