[theora] Steve Jobs about theora

[Patrick Aljord]

I guess you've all read it already, but here it goes:

"All video codecs are covered by patents. A patent pool is being
assembled to go after Theora and other “open source” codecs now.
Unfortunately, just because something is open source, it doesn’t mean
or guarantee that it doesn’t infringe on others patents. An open
standard is different from being royalty free or open source.
