How can a *format* be open sourced? It's like saying that JPG or DOC are "open source". If you're talking about particular implementation, then please be more clear.
As a side note / example:
Statement: "H264 is open source (see x264 project)"
> Better that the consumers of a product causing environmental destruction
That would be everyone then. You don't think that the food from around the world and all kinds of toys from China in your neighborhood store are brought there by fairies, do you? And that's only transportation.
Well, if uncapped it is bound to start burning at some time, isn't?
1 And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key of the shaft of the bottomless pit; 2 he opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft.

Well, there are *tons* of them. And fast. Download this program (if you're on Windows), run it, and see which are good for you. Redirecting and "strict" are marked with different colors.
Here's my RLZ value: 1C1GGLS_ruRU331RU331 And I've been using Chrome for a year probably. Oops, did I just gave out the bunch of my precious private data?
Unfortunately, Russian citizens can't and *do not want* to fight shit. After 1998-1999 humiliations and since Putin came to power the public consciousness has been conditioned so that nowadays words like "liberal", or "human rights defender", or such are considered virtually as profanities and you wouldn't want to call yourself as one in the crowd. And I guess this won't change now until people start starving or being killed en-masse. If even then.

But scientific community is far from. And you need publications and grants.

Is true: Y/N?
Uhm, haven't you just redefined GPL?
My router runs Linux. Can I transfer the firmware from one router to another without Linksys (or whatever) trying to stop me? No.
I hate the article for not stating whether those are key frames or P-frames.
Hey, what if I chose FreeBSD? It sure is better for a Flash developer, *right*?

True. Until you're looking for a new job, probably.
Your ISP knows much, much more about you than Google does.

That's because you weren't reading the ads - direct or indirect - of these MS "dev tools" (in magazines etc)
And you haven't been affected by managers who were reading them.
Congratulations to all involved!
FreeBSD is a great Free Unix system.

You're looking for Katapult. And you know what - that was probably the first (or one of the first) apps of such kind.

They should make Duke Nukem (in DNF) a black, homosexual, vegetarian, female eskimo, right?
I sure wish that people writing these papers would pay from their pockets - in form of investments - for such the games.

OK, let's pretend that world-wide call-out/call-in infrastructure (and registration servers) don't matter at all. Right?
Wow. They are different people?!
Mod parent up somebody.
I was under impression that Alan Cox was more involved recently in FreeBSD matters than with Linux anyway.

I would, but he is wrong. *All* Microsoft product EULA's ban posting benchmarks.

No.
It's so huge and its hold is so strong that even the giants like Microsoft, trying their hardest to destroy it, can't succeed.
