If you are sure that Vorbis is clean from Thompson's patent portfolio, then why not challenge the Thompson VP's statement to the contrary... Attempt to get as much free press on it as possible... It would seem that the reporter would do a followup.. especially since this looks like it could get hot... Challenge them to prove or recind their statement! Be great to formulate a sponsorship plan to discuss in the article also... but perhaps premature? ..just an idea..
