I am sure that MailChimp founders were sincere in their unwillingness to sell company. But 12 billions is 12 billions. I am sure that author of VLC would sell his product for much bigger money, the only problem that there's no one to offer him bigger money.

I don't know, having billions looks like a liability to me.

I don't think that we may classify big money as liability. Usually you cannot quickly get rid of your liability for free.

It is, but it also a liability you can afford to pay others to manage in detail.

I’d be willing to risk that liability.
