That's the second time in this thread you've implied that only Mozilla is affected by H.264 patent fees.<p>Apple and Google have already tried to get MPEG-LA to freely licence a lower quality subset of H.264 to break this impasse. The individual patent holders of that subset weren't impressed by this suggested compromise and even if they were it would still be a bait and switch technique that leaves open source products as second class citizens.<p>One more thing, you call it an open standard elsewhere. If a standard is described as "open" then that traditionally means no patent fees. H.264 is a standard, but it is not generally held to be an "open standard":  <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_standard" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_standard</a>
