who'da thunk it?who'da thunk it?Posted Dec 12, 2007 19:54 UTC (Wed) by nettings (subscriber, #429)In reply to: U.S. != world by khim Parent article: Specifying codecs for the web
thanks for letting me know that US != world. being a german citizen, that is quite a reassuring fact. :-D bickering aside, you have misread the web page you were linking to. the implementation itself is free (GNU GPL), but there are patents involved: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H264#Patent_licensing which is an issue in the US, specifically, because of their software patent laws. i guess you will find that your money is involved either way... but i'd rather consumers had to pay a little more to access content, than see independent content creators threatened by bullying corporations or lobby organizations over patent issues.
