The original statement, as well as yours imply that i would request significantly
more money for work worth significantly less
That is damaging my reputation and is against a person which is me.

It also may damage FFmpegs ability to fund future work as other developers
might not want to be caught in similar claims. Thus arguably you
are also causing damage to teh project with these claims.

I also like to refer again to teh fact this is a government grant that
was publically advertised, others could have taken it if it was thousands
of euros for work worth hundreads.

Also the whole proposal was reviewed by external experts.
On the 13th march 2024 we received this
"We are very happy to announce that your project was positively reviewed by our external experts."

Iam sorry but spliting out libpostproc into a maintainable seperate source
tree with self tests and everything is not just "a few hundread euros work".

And also, i have already said that i intend to donate the 15k

thx

Rewriting code that is poorly written but fully understood is good.
Rewriting code that one doesnt understand is a sign that one is less smart
than the original author, trying to rewrite it will not make it better.
