How are VP8/VP9 (webm) not 'free and libre'?

• mbq 13y ago
  As I understand, Google can go evil and use its patents to impose certain restrictions, like killing potential independent VP10 project or messing with webm's royalty-free status.

    Citation?

    Since Google are offering them under a _irrevocable_ royalty free licence I don't see how you could have come to 'understand' it that way. Do you have any references to your claims?

  Actually, those fail the "state-of-the-art" part of the test.
