Too bad the question itself can't be moderated down (or can it?), as I think this is the prototype for a bad ask-/.-question. Why?
a. It does not concern a difficult issue one would need/. to resolve. I'd say 5 minutes of www research would deliver all the answer. b. Since the answer is very straight, it's also not a good question to start up a useful discussion about the legal safety of OpenSource(TM) licenses in general.
But what irritated me a little about all this was the way Cliff tried to make this seem relevant by talking about free things getting commercial. IMHO this type of oneliners is only ment for adding a little sensation to an otherwise dull question. Just say our free software might be threatened and it will cause lots of hits! I'm seeing this type of juicifying (?) but otherwise useless comments a bit to often on/. lately, giving/. some characteristics of a bad newspaper.
Please feel free to prove me wrong if you like, or to add your opinion about this.

i'm amazed by all these people in here saying "we need a protocol with a REAL RFC". There IS an RFC!!
I think what they ment was not only a transmission protocol - like RTSP - but a nice open standard for audio/video compression/decompression!
