What bothers me is there has been questions in the past over the
copyrights of the 'OGG'format also... were those issues ever resolved?

the water here... and the sharks are everywhere...

I am not certain I agree with you at all, unless you are trying to use it as

MS paid for rights from whom they thought owned the patent, as did many
others. While I personally think patents are in fact very screwed up, this
case seems even more screwed up as the people paid have for quite some time
been considered to have owned the patent and should have applied.
