Probably he cares about software freedom?

WebM is not free. It is controlled by a single company.

First, free software can be developed by one entity, or even one person.

Second, that's a list of contributors to the "Google C++ Testing Framework", not WebM.

Third, the AUTHORS file for libvpx lists people from nVidia, Opera, Broadcom, and many other non-Googlers.

Then why would 4chan be not free?
