There is already significant investment from AOM, Videolan, and FFMPEG funding the development of dav1d. Is there a reason that that investment is not relevant?

From what I can tell, way more than $20k has been invested into dav1d, and that investment has generated many performance optimisations already. Ostensibly, that's what this rav1d bounty is competing with.

I wasn't aware of it, in that case this could be a more interesting comparison.

Was rav1d a port of dav1d or developed from scratch?
