You throwing a bunch of links really serves no purpose other than
unsubstantiated FUD Anybody can throw such links and if you make a claim
that a technology is patent encumbered the burden of proof is on you and not
on anyone else

There are lots of people including Xiph and Mozilla which have done such
analysis and their actions on distributing the codec is enough to show their
decision and your claim that the only reason not to publish it because there
is infringement is plain wrong and shows zero understanding of the issues
involved

I notice that you don't seem to be describing any of these 'issues
involved', only alluding to them. (Also, your . key has apparently failed
in the last few days. Sentences are much easier to read with the
occasional one in.)

Yes indeed my keyboard has some issues and I need to get it replaced and
for now a few important keys are not working The issues involved were
described in the link and you could read that without having me repeat it
