[vorbis] OpenML, Khronos, and dmSDK

[Marshall Eubanks]

http://www.khronos.org/private/Whitepaper.pdf

It is the intention of the Khronos Group to produce the OpenML, Version 1 specification
by the end of 2000, with the first product implementations appearing in the first half of
2001. The Khronos Group will create the spec and several sample implementations.
These items will be licensed on a royalty free basis. Other entities will be encouraged to
create their own implementations using their own business models.

Is basically all it says on the issue of licensing. It sounds like you could have a proprietary
version if you wanted to,
