[vorbis] Here is a link to what they say about "Other Formats"

[Firelight Multimedia]

Why would anyone want to be a corporate sponsor for ogg vorbis? so the
oggvorbis people can have someone else to get sued and not themselves?
If i was a corporation i wouldnt touch it with a big stick.
sales pitch - 'please sponsor us, oh and expect lawsuits within the next
month or 2' ..
:)
