What image formats are you hitting that Preview (I'm guessing you're on a Mac?) won't open? BTW: gthumb opens it A-OK. So, maybe the issue isn't the openness of the format, but the openness of your platform?

Openness of your platform? God could we get any more passive aggressive with this open source bullshit? Honestly this kind of crap is like doing grade school all over again. Grow up already, does windows support webm/webp natively? Nope, needs plugins. Webp is in a lot of the same boat as webm legally. It may be "open", whatever the fuck that means anymore, but that doesn't make it patent free or not needing of any licensing concerns. VP8/9/etc... aren't some public domain web format. Even webm infringed on H264 patents as of 2013. Do you really think that is an encouraging thing for lawyers of companies with legal liability to want to risk?
