It will be interesting to see what the long term impact of this will be. I'm also curious how open everything will be due to whatever patent restrictions exist.

From my brief scan of the Flash spec if you search for "licen" (to account for spelling differences) you'll find mention of a couple of patented codecs (MP3 and Sorenson from memory for example) that *can* be used and are flagged as things for developers to be aware of. My (very) brief reading was that these are not required for Flash content.
