Oh, also I'll note that Fluendo/Cortado streaming has seen mainstream use here in Finland as well at least in sports event streaming - perhaps they were less confident than EFFI in asserting that software patents are illegal here. (Don't know which event(s) or how many, as I'm not interested in sports - merely noted their use of free technology). As for more global use, at least Wikipedia policy is to use spesifically Theora for video. They're only one of the ten or so most popular web sites around, and while there's not overmuch video content at this point, the amount is only going to increase. Theora may not be as widely used as some of the encumbered options, but that doesn't mean it's doesn't get around already.
