It’s widely celebrated that Jean Baptiste Kempf, who could have easily sold VLC for tens of millions, declined to do so (or more accurately lead the steering group that jointly decided) keeping the enormously popular video player free and open source
What happened with VLC? This is the first time I am hearing it.

Oh my, I was thinking that there has been a recent development and they sold out or something.
I had some interactions with him in VLC forum and he was still active there answering questions personally.
I hope they continue the good work.
