I believe thats the difference between GPL and LGPL.
The point of open formats (apart from the evil commie thing) is that 1: 20 years from now you'll still be able to access your data. 2: You can access you data without relying on a third party. (they may start charging for reading content).
I'm a good, mainly law abiding person, but one day I might accidentally break a law, opps... You see most people trust that if I accidentally broke the law then I'm not really all that bad a person and my own guilt will be punishment enough.
Things like: You get home, Unpack the shopping, How the Fcsk did that get in there, opps, I don't think I payed for it either... That's accidently breaking the law. You shouldn't have to sign somthing to say that you won't take good from the shop that you havn't payed for.
It gives to a stick to trade with, If somone infringes your patent they may well allow you to use one of their patented ides, instead of going through the courts.

GPL is not free as in free to rip me off it's free as in you must release me.
If you don't like not being able to restrict the freedom of something that you recorded in OGG then your not repecting OGG and shouldn't be using it.
OK OGG SFAK is BSD (please rip me off) license, so your free to rip them off if you want to.
I have a few very off the wall , but potentially important 'inventions' that I would like to patent. But I have to keep them non-public.
They relate to inteligent and self managing systems, which arn't quite pratical for home use at the moment (due to current PC architectures/performance &co.) Microsoft may already hold some patents in that area with things like longhorn.
Like a lot of tech industries do, you could barter with patents. Here's the deal, Some OSS peeps form a Open Patent group, The patents can be used freely for free(GPL) software or freely by a company if they submit patents to the group.
Everyone else has to pay to use the patents.
GPL is important here because a company could just ripoff some BSD software that implemented a patented algo.
Word is even worse, though you can mostly correct the problem by saving the file with a different name. try modifying a file a few times and then saving with a different name, the file size will drop!
Lots of applications have the same fault, e.g. Microsoft Access doesn't appear to memset so you get what ever happens to be kicking around in memory written to emptyness in the database. Also Access doesn't clean out deleted data.

If Carole proves to anal then there's always going to be someone for 'plug the hole', so to speek.
DRM on MP3's won't happen, there are too many DRM-less MP3 content providors, that arn't with the RIAA(especially on Kazaa).

Once you've got your foot through the door, the hard selling can commence.
Linux is gaining profile in India and China(and other places not quite so big), the countries have some very poor regions and the governments are taking up Linux.
Media companies what the foot through the door, they want US Movie junkies in India and China, they won't ignore the a significant Linux userbase (assuming one develops).

Why do porn sites always have a few different formats and usually work find under Linux? Probably because the Porn industry has more experiance of delivering Video to the masses than anyone else, they know if they charge for content and you can't access it then you'll be screaming 'blue' murder.

This is what companies do all the time,
If a few companies hold key patents then they get togeter and agree licensing terms (often free)
