Summary:
H.264 is heavily patented, and H.264 implementors typically acquire patent licenses from MPEG LA. However, as noted in [1], Chrome's use of ffmpeg for codec support subjects it to the LGPL, which requires that any such licenses be fully transferable and unrestricted. How does Google intend to meet its legal obligations in reference to H.264 (and AAC)?
