the mirrors may have picked it up yet.
Thanks for the release.
One minor point of clarification; "Despite the MPEG proponents' claims
that MPEG-licensed codecs protect against liability..."
I don't think anyone has said this. What we have said is that we
have already assessed the risk/benefit/cost of these codecs and
decided the benefit is worth the cost and the risk, as we currently
perceive it. The equation is dependent on the technology.
