Well, apparently, no pure software solution can be patented (hardware can), least that's what I saw on the national news here in the UK 2 weeks ago.

Hi all, <p>i have readed all the realy sad stuff about software patents in europe and what allread exists. There is one side related to speex and i dont know if this is allready discussed here. Take a look at: http://swpat.ffii.org/patents/effects/voip/index.en.html Is speex realy petant free or does patent free only means that is is not patent by the speex authors? Who have checked that speex doesn't violates patents others? I don't use IP here, because most patents are only used to prevent other people to...

...resides in my city have allready accepted ilegaly over 10000 trival patents on allgorithem and so one, so it becomes hart to fight them. There are some professor's who say's, that it is not posible to create a free VoIP solution wihtout breaking some patents. Read the stuff at http://www.swpat.ffii.org and you will see that we - the open source developer - are threaten by patent lawyers and that this could be the end of any open source software for a longer time. See als the petition from eurolinux.org. <p>I have also thought that every thing is fine, but it is not. <p>&lt...

...nts. However, I believe the argument that On2 has not been sued for infringing the MPEG-patents is a very strong argument. This indicates that you will not be sued if you use Theora which basically is what people are interested in knowing. /Ole -- The Patented Word Processor http://ole.tange.dk/swpat/ ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: D Richard Felker III <dalias@aerifal.cx> Date: Wed, 23 Mar 2005 17:55:35 -0500 Subject: Re: [Theora] troll or truth ?

Hello, I was discussing on the mplayer/mencoder ML about transcodingfrom Divx to Theora. I got these kind of answers: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.mencoder.user/280 Of course I understoud only 50% of what he said, as well as I am not really used with codec and video glossary... But I generally understoud his opinion. What to think? I would like not to believe him, espacially when

Hi there, I am new to Ogg/Theora and am trying to compare several video codecs as part of my master thesis at the University of Klagenfurt. Therefore I have a question: will there be any patents problems using Ogg/Theora in the future? Is/will Ogg/Theora stay free from patents rights? This would be a great advantage in using Ogg/Theora instead of e.g. H.264 which is covered with numerous

I tried encoding http://home.tange.dk/theora/stream.dump with http://home.tange.dk/theora/optag-dvd 4. From that I got http://home.tange.dk/theora/dvd-4.theora.ogg. mplayer stream.dump works fine, but when playing the theora encoded file on my 2 GHz computer both mplayer and xine take 85% of my CPU while X takes the remaining 15% (i.e. 0% idle time) and the playback is no way near smooth.

....com/publicationDetails/claims?DB=&locale=&FT=D&date=19990921&CC=US&NR=5956431A&KC=A&tree=true) I recently took inspiration from an article/talk presented by Andrew Trigell regarding patents where he claims developers often overestimate the scope of patents (http://news.swpat.org/2010/03/transcript-tridgell-patents/) because they fixate on the title and summary instead of the actual claims. The key point he was making is that in order to infringe a patent you apparently have to infringe on ALL ELEMENTS of a PRIMARY claim. If you don't do something in the primary cl...
