Did you really get any of these, or were you exaggerating?

>people telling us that the VLC source code was visible

If you really did and they're public anywhere (and the people weren't joking), I'd love to see them. Sounds absolutely amazing.

All of these, in this single 3-months bug bounty program. I'm absolutely not exaggerating.

This is on our private security@ contact. We have one every month, telling us that.


That's amazing ... I don't know how anyone would even get to the point of realizing VLC has a bug bounty progam without also knowing that VLC is an open source program and therefore the source is supposed to be visible.
