I saw news that told me that Google was opensourcing the VP8 codec and using it on Youtube.
The good news is that the licence is a BSD style one, http://www.webmproject.org/license/software/ and they require contributors submitting code to agree to it being distributed with the same terms and for the author to grant free use with no patent fees etc (http://code.google.com/legal/individual-cla-v1.0.html) before code will be accepted by Google. So we should be able to use it and not have to worry about the flasher junk. Hopefully I will be able to watch OpenBSD devs' presentations at conferences that are out of reach for me, in better video. The slides are best for reference but the action shots and off-the-cuff comments are great and sometimes very funny. So, on the day of OpenBSD's latest release there comes a BSD licenced codec.

If it was, then OpenBSD would already have a man page for it.
