You are clearly completely unaware of the extensive analysis done of
other codecs, including those that are licensed.
And all those other analyses have yielded us this stalemate?
I am not yet ready to say we are at a stalemate
here; I simply believe that it is desirable to
get everyone (including Nokia and Microsoft as
well as Apple) on board. That's in all our
interests, and I continue to work to that end.
That is a testament to the value of standards. No one ever said you didn't
make standards. I claimed you made *proprietary* standards.
That is an oxymoron. Ogg is NOT a standard; it
is an open-source effort. H.264 (for example) is
NOT proprietary, but a multi-vendor-developed
international standard. But you knew this;
you're just trying to use emotional terms.

only the big boys get to play and the rest get to pay. But in all fairness,
I should bring up that you also made Zeroconf possible, and that's awesome.
Thank you.
