    Point out where I said it was an exaggeration, you idiot. Go ahead, point it out. By the way, saying that something not being open source does not make it Orwellian does not mean I called the H.264 license a "wild exaggeration". Reading comprehension. Look into it.

    Are you so stupid as to thing a misinterpreted and unenforceable clause in a license equates to all media being entirely controlled by MPEG-LA? REALLY? Are you such a fucking paranoid lunatic that you think that paying a small license for commercial distribution in a digital format (not just H.264) means it's now "entirely controlled" by that company? And that means that they'll now control everything that's published? Are you fucking KIDDING me?

    Congratulations on being part of the reason that FOSS advocates are seen as ranting, paranoid zealots.
