But see also: http://mail.gnome.org/archives/marketing-list/2005-February/msg00040.html Judging by that, it seems that GPL decoders (and even encoders) may be ok with the patent holders (though I suspect you'd want to confirm it with the source of the info). OTOH, short of an explicit and public exemption clause for non-commercial use, every encouragement for people to move over to ogg is probably worthwhile :) - Pete.
