Google may face legal challenges if it open-sources VP8 codec
,----[ Quote ]
| But there's already historical precedent
| for a company attempting to offer a
| royalty-free license for a codec whose
| underlying technologies it didn't
| completely own. In 2005, Microsoft offered
| its WMV9 technologies as the royalty-free
| standard VC-1. As Microsoft soon
| discovered, WMV9 was not "patent-free"
| outside of Microsoft, and its underlying
| technologies were not royalty-free either.
| Today, Microsoft's service agreement on
| VC-1 includes a notice saying, among other
| things, that AVC -- one of the bedrock
| encoding technologies claimed by other
| rights holders -- may be used in the VC-1
| codec, under a license granted to Microsoft
| by MPEG LA. That license covers Microsoft
| when it, in turn, licenses the use of
| VC-1's three essential encoding
| technologies, for non-commercial purposes.

No such thing as an unemcumbered codec

Google TV: Another Reason Open Sourcing VP8 Matters
,----[ Quote ]
| Googleâs decision to open source On2
| Technologyâs VP8 video codec at its Google I/O
| developer conference next month is not only a
| huge boon for HTML5 web video and a blow
| against Adobeâs Flash. Itâs also clearly aimed
| at optimizing video playback on a number of
| devices, like the much-rumored Google TV
| platform as well as upcoming Android tablet
| PCs.

Google to Open Source VP8?

| There are patent concerns, but Google has a
