Microsoft just got fined 1.5e9 dollars (yes, 1.5 billion with a "b") for patent violations with respect to playing mp3's under ms-windows.
s/playing/conversion/ Playing a MP3 does not infringe on the patent. My question is, how will this effect free/open formats like ogg-vorbis? Only possible effect it can have is a positive, people will wake up to the fact that software patents are completely absurd. _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
