    You mean http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/Licensors.aspx http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/AVC/Pages/Licensors.aspx ? That's the list of companies that license the codec to others and of course they get money for that. You do see Apple and Microsoft on the list, do you? What you don't see is Google, Mozilla, Opera and every other competitor..

    So, buster, using your logic, if Pepsi uses an ad agency that Coke doesn't use, then Pepsi on that ad agency's board?

      According to my logic i can tell if a company is giving the right to license its product to others, that this company will most likely get money for it. Do you really think Mircrosoft is like "oh, well. MPEG-LA, we hand over the rights for our patens to you. Do as you wish with those patents and also please give the license fees to the other companies. But please don't give us money!"? ;) You do know that the MPEG-LAs purpose is to collect the rights to those patents from those companies (the licensors) and collects money from the licensees, redistributing it to the licensors. Now Apple and MS are on the list of licensors. And they don't get money, you say? And never will? sure... :)
