Oh, and will you look at this, Apple, Inc. holds one the patents! US 6,134,243 [4]. So Apple gets money for every single license sold. How nice. They are attempting to lock vendors into MPEG-4 and get money from licenses in the process. Apple, Inc. is no better than Microsoft. [4] http://www.mpegla.com/m4s/m4s-att1.pdf
It is their fair right to have such patents and make money from them. I have no issue with that. It just makes it a bit hard to make unbiased decisions. I believe Apple in this forum tries to balance their interests with the needs of the community. They are a commercial body after all, so let's not make it harder for them than it already is.
