Actually it is lgpl. But uses a patent encumbered compression/decompression format. Since India does not recognise software patents, it may not be an immediate concern. However given that VP5 with ogg/theora is the open unencumbered standard, it is definetly better to use that from the start. There is a downside to this though. As long as you are conferencing within a close group having the same setup, there is no problem. If you have to do a conference with some other vendor equipment, you will be in trouble without h263/h264. Afaik none of the commercial equipment have VP5 (or higher) ogg/theora. So essentially they are flogging a dead horse. _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
