MPEG LA Extends H.264 Royalty-Free Period
Sir Homer writes "The MPEG LA has extended their royalty-free license (PDF) for 'Internet Video that is free to end users' until the end of 2016. This means webmasters who are registered MPEG LA licensees will not have to pay a royalty to stream H.264 video for the next six years. However the last patent in the H.264 portfolio expires in 2028, and the MPEG LA has not released what fees, if any, it will charge webmasters after this 'free trial' period is over."

If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.
How many people are involved on this attack against me? Is it just one with multiple accounts with modpoints, or is there a group? There's no way that my comment is flamebait if the parent comment isn't. How can saying someone who uses the word "freetard" to describe free software advocates "drank the kool-aid" be more deserving of negative moderation then the person who called FoSS users "freetards"? Microsoft shill, or personal enemy?
"You're right," Fisheye says. "I should have set it on 'whip' or 'chop.'"
