Ya well in my country they are restricted.
Theora and Ogg are not. Free software codecs developed for the specific use of being open and having no royalties or restrictions on their creation or use, but yet I have yet to see anybody use them for video outside of maybe RMS requiring it for records.
So you see exactly why I have no faith that ODF will accomplish much of anything. OpenXML is 'open' also.

See me here:

Theora videos there.
And here:

Ogg vorbis audio there.
And I really do agree. It is not a wise more for people who care about Free to not support each other wherever possible.
all the best,
drew
