Sorry, I'm a bit lost. Am I missing something? According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG_LA
MPEG LA, LLC is a firm based in Denver, Colorado that licenses patent pools covering essential patents required[1][2] for use of the MPEG-2,[3] MPEG-4 Visual (Part 2), IEEE 1394, VC-1, ATSC, MVC, MPEG-2 Systems, AVC/H.264 and HEVC standards.
MPEG LA is not affiliated with MPEG, the Moving Picture Experts Group.
Doesn't that mean MPEG LA is affiliated with MPEG?
