This is a non sequitur. A codec cannot be proved patent-free in a court.
It can only be proved that some particular patent does not apply. If

Folks -
OLPC already has a license from Adobe to redistribute Adobe Flash. We can
provide that to any deployment that requests it; if a deployment decides they

However, Adobe pointed out that since OLPC's Linux distro (a Fedora
