Google funding GSoC students to work on FFmpeg. And nobody objected agains the 
core idea of STF funding developers to work on FFmpeg.

The "drama" is about how and through whom the funding goes. That drama 
couldn't be had for GSoC because how was however Google decides, and there was 
no intermediary to go through (money went straight from Google to the 
students).
