Tras las ultimas propuestas del W3C y los primeros borradores de lo que sera el HTML5 se decidio agregar el codec Ogg/Theora+Vorbis como el estándar.A pesar de que Nokia ha defendido este formato desde casi siempre ha emitido un escrito donde defiende el DRM . La nueva posicion cuestiona el uso de dicho codec como estandar y su papel juridico. ¿ Tendra algo que ver empresas como SGAE y RIIA en este tema ?
"This is not what Nokia is saying at all. Ogg (the container) may be FOSS and patent free, but Ogg Theora is a patented technology."
"Nokia is right, but they're making it sound worse than it is. The Ogg Theora video codec was originally developed under a proprietary license. They "gave" it to XIPH, but put it under a permanent license to the XIPH open source community. They renamed it Theora and enabled it to work with the OGG container; No royalties, but it's still proprietary."
