No, the real question is: Is it _actually_ free?
Read the OVA page about VP8 (
http://openvideoalliance.org/2010/05/google-frees-vp8-codec-for-html5-the-w…).
Specifically "What's the catch?". In short, MPEG-LA group claims
that
their patents cover all modern video codecs.
So, hey, if Google can fight them off - great. Until then... wait and see?

The question to this esteemed community is thus:
