Vorbis - Apr 2001 - OpenML, Khronos, and dmSDK

It looks like SGI has an open source project called dmSDK (digital media
SDK) that is similar in some ways to the goals of the Xiph.org projects.

Apparently it's the basis for OpenML, which is run by the Khronos SIG,
which looks like a consortium made up of various companies like S3, SGI,
and Intel.

You can find more about dmSDK at http://oss.sgi.com

and more about OpenML and Khronos SIG at http://www.khronos.org

I'm surprised that no one's found these before I did today.  Posts on
the dmSDK mailing list suggest that they know about and are interested
in Vorbis support.

Do any of you know anything more about this?

I've visited those sites - looks like this consortium is created to deal
with interoperability problems that we have today because of many
proprietary closed-source formats, and also they want to support
more operating systems.
But I don't see the word 'free' anywhere.

Well according to http://www.khronos.org/NABrelease.htm they have
announced their coalition just few days ago (Apr 11, 2001) at NAB
convention.
