That's interesting, so when people are throwing around insults about how Theora
was based on an no good, brain-dead format that On2 only open sourced
because no-one would pay money for it, they're actually insulting the main guy
doing Flash on Linux. Funny how these thing go.

Strangely he doesn't seem very keen on the IETF working together with Skype,
Broadcom and Xiph to create a royalty-free audio codec standard for internet
applications either:

Possibly he's just developed a generalised dislike for hippy freeloaders from
his experiences developing Flash for Linux?
