No quotable citation, sorry. It's the loophole that makes RAND potentially meaningless. Everyone supposedly pays a 'non-discriminitory' base 'fair' price for licensing that is rather high, but just about everyone who 'plays nice' gets a substantial discount. Compete with a pool member and watch the 'discount' evaporate. Ironically, this practice also led directly to some of Vorbis's early funding, though it mostly cuts the other way. Monty
