What'd he say?

  Well it was about the announcement of WebM, his reply was basically the one he'd given about Theora (http://hugoroy.eu/jobs-os.php http://hugoroy.eu/jobs-os.php) but shorter and less involved: that WebM is likely subject to existing patents, just like h.264, and that the talk about free-as-in-beer (on top of free-as-in-freedom) is likely a wish. I asked a followup question (on whether Apple would consider the idea, and if Apple's existing patent protection re h.264 wouldn't cover most of the threat landscape in WebOS) but didn't get any further reply. YMMV
