You're better off looking at the BBC R&D pages than at the Sourceforge site if you want meta-information. They're well aware of Theora and don't have any objections to it. As far as they're concerned Dirac is a blue-sky research project, a next-generation video compression method rather than something to compete with MPEG this year or next.
