  1. @dalias Say you want the public to benefit from a video codec that's usable by free software in countries where MPEG-LA members hold patents. Would there have been a better way to go about this than how Google released WebM using On2's TrueMotion VP8?

  2. OK. I have been updated by many on where we are with #Chatcontrol. Thank you to all who helped me. I guess that just as back in 2002 with the #swpat directive I will now go into hiding to work on amendments and injecting them into the sausage machine. The process has just started. If the common position is adopted, there will be a first reading in parliament and that is where we can make a real difference. The current fight focuses on not getting to that stage at all, which would be better.
