Icecast - Aug 2004 - OGG encoder, was: Re: [thomas@arkena.com: [vorbis] mp3pro and the mp3 streaming license]

Red alert people.

When ogg starts to make money for someone (whoever if anyone at all,) then the
boys in the legal team at Fraunhofer will throw something at it in the form of
"hey, you are stepping on our IP" and then sue. Until then, what is
the point. So....

Until then, this argument is pointless.

I'm not as convinced.  The possibility exists, of course, but that's
not Thomson's reputation.  Dolby, M$ and Kobe are bigger worries than
