Yes, and ffmpeg2theora also works in Windows.
Because this is indeed the one big problem with Theora (tools), Xiph

There are no hardware implementations.

Uh? You are supposed to costumize the kernel as you feel like it.
Freedom of choice and all. Also, if it may bother you, why not bring

To be shipped on the OLPC platform, code and binaries must be a few

1) Open Source

I've noticed that mesh activity appears to be ALWAYS on. Even when
the laptop is not doing anything, as in not conected to a school/local

GPL3 is an interesting consideration for a later date. Right now
there's no point with wasting time to consider since there is _no_
advantage to the OLPC project at the moment. There may be in the
future. Also, like a few people already said, without the kernel as
GPL3, it will only make it a
