Quoting C <smaug42@opensuse.org>:
Whatever happened with the whole thing of Cisco and H.264?
http://blogs.cisco.com/collaboration/open-source-h-264-removes-barriers-webr...
I can't pretend to understand the whole legal silliness behind it all, but... shouldn't "we" be able to use H.264?
If you ensure the patent fee is paid, you can... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H.264/MPEG-4_AVC#Patent_licensing
The patent fee is paid as was stated by Cisco:
"We plan to open-source our H.264 codec, and to provide it as a binary module that can be downloaded for free from the Internet. Cisco will not pass on our MPEG LA licensing costs for this module, and based on the current licensing environment, this will effectively make H.264 free for use in WebRTC."
Chromium is not a binary module that is downloaded from cisco... it's source code.. and not covered by Cisco. Dominique -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
