This is idotic. By not supporting h.264 and not getting in trouble if and when MPEG-LA decides to cease and desist, they are making it much easier for h.264 to become completely ingrained because h.264 is what works NOW and it is what is widely supported NOW. Why? Who among the vast majority of blithering idiots in the world knows or cares about the patent issues with h.264? Outside of Hacker News and the Mozilla corporation, I'd put that number at just about nil.
Yo, has anyone started work on a Mozilla fork that does support h.264 either through native support or plugins?
edit: Also, if no one does sue, then the whole thing will have been simply an exercise in idiocy.
