It actually looks like Cisco is collaborating with Daala's developers for the
next-generation Internet video codec. See what

says in the comments:
The more technology we have to work with the better. The final NetVC codec
will be neither Thor, nor Daala. It will be some kind of mix of the various
contributions received. (disclosure: I'm in the Daala team at Mozilla)
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daala#NetVC for a few more details.
