[Vorbis] Nokia against the adoption of the Ogg technologies by W3C's HTML5
http://www.w3.org/2007/08/video/positions/Nokia.pdf [...] Anything beyond that, including a W3C-lead standardization of a ?free? codec, or the active endorsement of proprietary technology such as Ogg, ?, by W3C, is, in our opinion, not helpful for the co-existence of the two ecosystems (web and video), and therefore not our choice. [...] Charming. Now they call Ogg a "proprietary technology". -- Please avoid sending me Word or PowerPoint attachments. See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/no-word-attachments.html Support open standards! Take a look at this nice presentation: http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/open-standards-security.pdf
