This is apparently false, they changed the offer.
They dont need swscale, rather they want to donate to the main developers,
without any specific development request or focus.
They also want to know how to get off the hall of shame

As iam neither "the main developers" (iam a single person last i checked)
and iam not maintainer of the hall of shame i cant really accept their
offer, nor help them.

If their new offer is serious, maybe someone with thicker skin wants
to contact them and claim that 20k for ffmpeg and use it for something
like bounties for specific tasks.

And iam deeply sorry for everyone who wasted time with this.

My offer to relicense my code in libswscale to LGPL still stands
and i suspects kostyas to rewrite yuv2rgb_template.c too.
