I posted this chat about nokia in the french speaking linux site "
LinuxFR.org".
It seems that:
1st: It's not Nokia, but an employee of nokia who claims that.
2nd: More than an anti-vorbis attitude, Nokia ('s employee) attitude is a
security against sleeping patents who can cover ogg&vorbis, also, other
technologie like h264 aren't treathed by sleeping patent and there's less
danger in legal issue to use them.

Please note
- that I'm a french speaking guy and please pardon my low-level English :-)
- It's not really my opinion (Microsoft itself used ogg in his video game
"Halo" and samsung/yepp class digital player (my actual player) use
ogg/vorbis whitout problems, but a short synthese of the discussions who
follows my topic.

cheers.
