QT3 Licensing Woes

Benjamin K. writes "Apple seems to have created a very intrusive license agreement for Quicktime 3. It is creating quite a buzz in the Macintosh community. The license requires that to distribute QT3, a developer either pay $1 per copy of the program, or must copy an advertisement to the desktop EVERY time the program is run. This could be bad. Furthermore, the new movieplayer has fewer features (in the free version) than the old version. I wonder what Apple was thinking!" With Microsoft's new video formats coming out, it seems like now would be a good time for Apple to try to gain market share instead of doing stupid stuff like this.
