Who cares which codec is being used as long as Firefox, Chrome, Flash and YouTube support it perfectly well.

Comment Interesting Title!!! (Score 1) 87
But it does make a point. Linux was for the uber geeks. Not for the corporate suits. Its good that we have reached a point where a discussion of the license is as important as the features of the software. .... AH!!!! Then I go read the article and realize its just a promotion for 3 tools being released. Upper management doesn't care for these tools. Maintainers maybe.
What a waste of time.
Linux Foundation Makes Open Source Boring 87
superapecommando noted an essay by Glyn Moody where he writes "In the early days of free software, the struggle was just to get companies to try this new and rather unconventional approach, without worrying too much about how that happened. That typically meant programs entering by the back door, surreptitiously installed by in-house engineers who understood the virtues of the stuff — and that it was easier to ask for forgiveness after the event than for permission before.
[The Linux Foundation tries] to take all the fun out of free software. They are about removing the quirkiness and the riskiness that has characterized free software in business for the last decade and a half, and seek to replace it with nice, safe systems that senior management will instantly fall in love with. In a word, they seek to make open source boring for the enterprise. That's not only good news for companies, it's a really important step for the Linux Foundation."
Nero Files Antitrust Complaint Against MPEG-LA 247
hkmwbz writes "German technology company Nero AG has filed an antitrust complaint against the MPEG-LA, the company that manages the H.264 patent pool. Nero claims that the MPEG-LA has violated the law and achieved and abused 100% market share, by, among other things, using 'independent experts' that weren't independent after all, not weeding out non-essential patents from the pool (in fact, it has grown from the original 53 to more than 1,000), and retroactively changing previously-agreed-on license terms."
