> There's a small gotcha in the new MPEG LA license agreement. Footnote 17, which appears in tiny print at the very end of the summary of license terms, notes that “Annual royalty caps are not subject to the 10% limitation.” Although that sounds like a loophole, it really only affects the largest players in the market.
Cisco’s free to use h264 encoder/decoder binaries of its open source OpenH264 are a result of this license cap so potentially it could affect others if those rates rise to the point they withdraw availability.
