Vorbis - Sep 2001 - VP3.2 video codec open sourced

this is slightly off topic and also it was posted to the tarkin list,
but I think many people on this list are looking for an open source
video codec. ;)

On2 released the VP3.2 video codec as open source. I didn't read the
license and could not say if it's really open source.

It's not really open source. You can't use the code to write
anything but VP3.2-compatible programs, and it looks like it's still
under quite a few patents.
