If you're having to modify individual files to set HTTP headers, you're doing it wrong. Also, polluting sites' namespaces (even worse than they already are with robots.txt/favicon.ico) is a bad idea.
But then, you already betrayed your cluelessness when you revealed that you put Flash on the Web.
Of course they don't care. But Mozilla, for example, has to. And it certainly affects what they can build into their browser. It affects what assumptions a developer can make about who has what.
Do you think the "average folks" care about.doc versus.odt? No, but that doesn't mean it isn't important to have an open standard.
And it's encumbered in ways that affect how people can use it. For example, LAME (and various other MP3 stuff) isn't included in Debian or Ubuntu; people have to go out of their way and use non-standard, often unsupported repositories.
The license is the single most important thing. It determines whether or not you can use the software at all, or for your specific purpose, whatever that is.
When we're talking about establishing a standard for the Web, which everybody is expected to be a) able and b) allowed to use, there is nothing more important than the license.

You've done your part!
The hardest part about doing this would be Jeopardy.
Can I still watch it, if I promise to skip the commercials? If I boycott the advertisers? (That's a pretty easy one, no HeadOn for me, thanks.)
Would I be allowed to try out for the show?
...why?

You do have to go out of your way to enable the multiverse. And it's not in Debian at all.

Well let's make sure that doesn't happen with Web video, and support Theora as the base standard rather than MPEG.
Hmm. I sense from your post that you have not actually tried this.
2) would indemnify the licensing parties against infringement suits
Do they?
But the same is true if it turns out the MPEG4 codec infringes on somebody else's patent.
Do the MPEG4 patent holders indemnify their licensees against violations of others' patents? If not, you're taking the same risk either way.

Who are you? Who's talking? Are you in the air somewhere? I'm confused!!!
If anyone shoots them all, I'll be there to applaud. And yes, I write that with my name on it.
They may as well start rounding up all the Toms now, just in case.
