They could have the same by distributing x264 binaries that they have
compiled by themselves.

One of the things in the Cisco grand, that sound a bit incoherent to
me is their declared will on building a healthy open source community
around their implementation. Specifically, what baffles me is that
there is already a very well oiled implementation that does a lot more
than just baseline. That implementation already has a vibrant
community, significant popularity and, again, it sounds like it would
be considerably superior to what Cisco are planning on rolling out in
OpenH264.

In addition to wondering at the pure waste of resources (with a casual
reference to NIH), potential contributors could legitimately ask "why
would we contribute to your project when you made the exact opposite
choice when faced with the decision?".
