By the way, these kinds of statements have come to serve as nothing
but a kind of new demonstration of Godwin's Law. If you disagree with
something that isn't even misleading, much less patently false, come
up with a convincing argument instead of screaming "FUD!"
"FUD" should be reserved for statements for which there already exists
a well-known, logically-consistent, and convincing rebuttal. I have
yet to see one on this topic, while there is plenty of anecdotal
evidence that due-diligence was not performed with respect to Vorbis
and patents (including conspicuously the lack of a convincing argument
to the contrary!)
Cheers,
Kyle
