Judging by what they say on the website itself: (http://www.mpegla.com/main/pid/hevc/default.aspx) "In order to participate in the initial facilitation effort for the creation of a joint HEVC License, MPEG LA invites any party that believes it has patents that are essential to the HEVC Draft 7 standard (or subsequent revisions that may issue) to submit an initial patent by September 7, 2012..." It seems to me that there is a risk that HEVC could be patent-encumbered. It's still early days yet, as far as I can see. - -- Jamie Quinlan [] Fellow #2286 | Key 0xF6265617 [][][] http://fsfe.org/freesoftware/ || -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQLp/9AAoJEGYyu5TlDxCNeBIIAKYKYKF98jgh0kGP1jPA88S/ /CqSk3EjDRzK89Q8ABBETYyauygzOzaXOW9Y7s6TyrvJYA4RvrBBDrVcjyQokQB4 CZe85oGGIQu4eypP0jRQgQXjyhMZd2IhgEHv6AT5winBzqrbmrEyXBLh1peGo0Cn 8pnaRILOxY/29a7bt9fpUChJUkyfqNXZle8+Mj0oUple1dazfyN+ZHI8Cyh7fFHI nsZTSv1C/xHHAqI8kKEXtpqJXj007yvWBRqBfJM3G1kCVkPpSHB0miGkuOTkxRuu TtjG7nBw2MLnmjqzJH4LqcpDEq5McTelHOL1BH0JEHdYIGdB30IYGfbNduXKJyY= =NFgu -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list [email protected] https://mail.fsfeurope.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
