Great article. I drew that very chart this morning trying to sort out the implications of this change.

> "As a side note, it would be great if MPEG LA would simply open up the licensing terms for H.264 and make it royalty-free forever for 1: browsers to implement it, and 2: people on the Internet to produce & sell video with it."

How hard would this be to do? Is that all that prevents FF/Opera/Chrome from supporting h.264?
