you know, you are right. i'm acting very petty. i know the team is made
of devels who also work on ffmpeg in their spare time.

instead of complaining, i'll move forward.

maybe someone could help me draft a proposal about ruby getting paid
for his work on jpeg2000? iirc ruby was working on fixing a
small bug in j2k decoder as a qualification task before soc 2011
started [1], but due to some miscommunications, he was not accepted as a
student. ruby was cool about it and continued working anyways [2]. his
work was accepted into ffmpeg [3].

i think working on such a complicated codec for a first time ffmpeg
contributor, even after missing out on google money, is very worthy of
some compensation.
