For owners of proprietary technologies who do not have the least intention of making _their_ IPR available? Leonardo Chiariglione -----Original Message----- From: Keith Moore [mailto:moore@cs.utk.edu] Sent: 2001 marzo sabato 19:41 To: Chiariglione Leonardo Cc: 'Rob Lanphier'; discuss@apps.ietf.org Subject: Re: MP4 Player Available for Download As far as I'm concerned, if MPEG-4 requires ANY IPR licensing then it is a non-starter. Those four letters don't mean jack - what matters is whether people can use the technology without strings. And if the MPEG developer community isn't committed to producing a standard that is free of IPR - then the sooner the rest of the world abandons them, the better. Keith
