Steve Jobs: patent pool going to overtake Theora

image It seems that Steve Jobs got a taste of fighting with Adobe Flash and now decided to run over Theora as well. Here is his answer to the remark of a simple German blogger that h.264, which Jobs does promote, is not an open standard:

“All video codecs are protected by patents. The patent pool is currently being collected to take Theora and other "open source" codecs for one place. ( Note pay attention to quotes ). Unfortunately, if something calls itself open source, it does not mean and does not guarantee that it does not violate other patents. An open standard is something other than royalty free or open source.

What do you think about this,% username%?

By the way, Jobs sometimes replies to emails that can be sent to: sjobs@apple.com

Here you can read the original question and answer Jobs.

Update I'm not at all against Steve Jobs or Theora, the translation is as close to the original as possible (if you think you can improve, speak in the comments).

Update 2 I want to transfer to the blog Intellectual Property, but karma is not enough. Thank! Transferred
