We tentatively chose the most restrictive license since we need to closely monitor how the video is released when it is released. After that crucial period of the launch we may chose a less restrictive licence.<br><br>For now the NC-ND Creative Commons license means people must ask before doing something more than just redistributing the original video, not that we absolutely forbid any kind of commercial use or alteration. Codec development at large is perfectly fine, we're not clutching our sources, simply planning the upcoming release.<br>
We had thought that it would be interesting if people could add their own score to the video and vote for the best one, but we have no time to do so for we won't hold back the release once editing hits the final stage. We submitted the idea to Mozilla though, so it's kind of up to them to open the door for a less restrictive use of the video.<br>

</div>That's already blocked by ND. He's choosing the most restrictive<br>
license possible, the one that only allows redistribution but never<br>
any modification at all. Basically, ND-NC = Freeware.<br>
