Firefox With H.264 HTML 5 Support = Wild Fox

Posted by kdawson on from the join-the-fun dept.

Elledan writes "Two countries have software patents which make it impossible to freely use video codecs such as AVC (H.264). This has led to projects such as Firefox not including AVC support with the HTML 5 video tag in their releases, which makes the rest of the world suffer indirectly the effects of software patents as well. To rectify this situation at least somewhat, I have created the Wild Fox project, which aims to release Firefox builds with the features previously excluded due to software patents. This software will be available to those in non-software-patent-encumbered countries. Any developers who wish to join the project are more than welcome."

    Maya has a feminine skeleton build, including secondary feminine
                        characteristics, no adam's apple, partially developed male genitals (no foreskin, partially descended testicles, no oil
                        glands). Maya was part of a twin in the womb, with a merging of both embryos being a possibility.
