RE: Trademark I have no idea about this. As so far as we know we are not stepping on any toes with regard to the project name. As always if people have issues they can bring it up without need to resort to legal action. I suspect this is just speculation.
RE: Comments about not allowing 3rd party servers to stream h264. If this is technical I suspect its a new secure handshake to validate the server, if this is license related I'm not sure I understand how that would work. The only license would I can think of would apply is that of the flash player. That would be small print saying people cannot use the player with other rtmp servers. If they did that, and we added support for h264 it wouldn't be red5 that was in the wrong it would be end users of the player. I cant see em wanting to upset users by starting legal action against them. It would also set alarm bells ringing in the open source world at a time as the flash player is becoming more open. But, eh what do I know... I'm no lawyer. Lets just wait and see. - Luke On 8/21/07, Yang Ye <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > On 8/21/2007 10:44 PM, Michiel van der Ros wrote: > > > > > > Donnacha wrote: > >>> "I am not in a position able to explain to you why we will not allow > >>> 3rd party streaming servers to stream H.264 video or AAC audio into > >>> the Flash Player.
