[theora] Theora patent question

[Charles Iliya Krempeaux]

Hello Michael,

Have you tried contacting some of the Apple people who talk on the WhatWG
mailing list?  (One of them might be the "right" person to talk to.)

http://lists.whatwg.org/listinfo.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org
http://lists.whatwg.org/htdig.cgi/whatwg-whatwg.org/

Just be specific, don't ask on that mailing list.  But you may be able to
find some Apple contacts on that mailing list.
