Hi all, really sorry about answering to that many list, but i d like to clear things.. I invite people to check the license for themselves and see if it is in fact open source. The licence reads: "Contributor hereby assigns to RealNetworks full ownership in all worldwide common law and statutory rights associated with the intellectual property rights, copyrights, copyright application, copyright registration and moral rights in the Contribution to the extent allowable under applicable local laws and copyright conventions. Contributor agrees that this assignment may be submitted by RealNetworks to register a copyright in the Contribution. Contributor retains the right to use the Contribution for Contributor's own purposes subject to whatever license is applicable to the Contribution, if any (e.g. RPSL). This provision will enable RealNetworks to efficiently protect the copyright in the Helix DNA on behalf of the entire community." To me that means that we lose ownership of the code and Real is free to close it or patent it at any point they wish. The GStreamer team is pushing hard to get an integrated and distributable media framework and we are currently trying to fund the development of Theora codec so that we can get a completely free and open solution for multimedia streaming/playback.
