I'm not sure how this works, but if x264 has been getting along fine without legal tangles, then why can't Mozilla use this instead?<p>Unless their primary fear is of being a larger patent attack surface.<p>Additionally, I was under the impression that the patent sabre-rattling can happen only in places where software patents are valid. So why can't Mozilla offer a build of Firefox for download only in, say, India? Too much effort?
