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."
How that can be implemented... or even if it can be... no idea, but according to the statement from Cisco, the fees are paid on H.264 and it's available for anyone to use.
We need to wait until something is finally available at all. Up to now this is a press announcement only AFAIK. Wolfgang -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
