Google's WebM Strategy: Open-Source Approved or Patent Exposure Minefield?

,----[ Quote ]
| In other words, if Google doesn't address 
| patent indemnification-or at least release 
| information about its findings on the patents 
| efficacy-a new licensing pool will be created 
| to capitalize on fear, uncertainty, and doubt. 
| Yet Google seems more concerned with modifying 
| its WebM FAQ than it is with helping the 
| online video world understand the practical 
| and financial benefits of an open-source 
| competitor to H.264.

WebM has landed on Firefox nightlies

,----[ Quote ]
| Today I landed Firefox's WebM support on
| mozilla-central, our Firefox development
| branch. It should appear in nightly builds
| from tonight onwards.
|
| Credits to the development effort go to
| Chris Double for writing the decoder
| backend, Matthew Gregan for writing the ISC
| style licensed libnestegg WebM demuxer, and
| myself for integrating all the moving parts
| into the Mozilla tree and build system.
| Also thanks need to go to the releng team
| which promptly installed YASM on the
| Mozilla Linux and Mac build machines, and
| to Roc, Shaver and many others for cracking
| the whip and working behind the scenes.
