In a bad situation, someone could send unmergeable patches and they will
satisfy the legal requirement above for being paid out. I'm suggesting to

It's the difference between a goal of "a developer getting paid for work
done" or "ffmpeg maintenance being paid for". They are very closely related
but have slightly different finishes.
