You misunderstand. If Vorbis v1.3 (say) infringes a (submarine or otherwise) patent, the next version, e.g. v2.0, will be changed such that it does not. You just won't be able to play v1.3 files on a v2.0 player.
That seems like a serious disincentive to designing hardware around the format, though. People are going to be unhappy if they spend $300 a new Yoyodyne Oggmaster music player and it doesn't play their old Ogg files. Or if the music player they bought a year ago suddenly can't play new music. I'd hate to be the tech support person who had to explain that one. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
