🎉 Ultimul brevet pentru MPEG-4 Part 2 a expirat! DivX și Xvid sunt acum complet libere la nivel mondial O eră importantă din istoria codecurilor video se încheie oficial: ultimul brevet care proteja standardul MPEG-4 Part 2 (cunoscut pentru formatele populare DivX și Xvid din anii 2000) a expirat. 💡 Ce înseamnă acest lucru? 🔓 Fără redevențe sau licențiere: Producătorii de hardware, dezvoltatorii de aplicații comerciale, proiectele multimedia și distribuțiile Linux pot include acum suport nativ de codare/decodare MPEG-4 Part 2 fără teama de taxe sau procese legate de brevete. 🐧 Ideal pentru distribuțiile Linux: Distribuțiile cu politici extrem de stricte privind software-ul brevetat vor putea include suport de bază pentru aceste formate fără a mai necesita repozitoare terțe. 🔍 Clarificare importantă: • Expirarea se aplică MPEG-4 Part 2 (fisierele vechi .avi, DivX, Xvid). • NU se aplică formatului H.264 (MPEG-4 Part 10) sau altor tehnologii moderne utilizate în fișierele .mp4 actuale, care sunt încă protejate de brevete active. Pentru utilizatorul obișnuit (care folosește deja player-e precum VLC sau FFmpeg) nimic nu se schimbă peste noapte, însă este o victorie uriașă pentru distribuția de software liber și arhivarea digitală! 🎬 #MPEG4 #DivX #Xvid #OpenSource #SoftwareFreedom #Patents #Linux #Multimedia #TechNews #VideoCodecs

Replying to @Darkphoenix@universeodon.com
@Darkphoenix@universeodon.com @theteapixie@mstdn.ca Granted, everyone I knew even remotely at [what used to be] #Bayer explicitly warned against it and those that had preference shares literally sold them off before the deal closure because they knew that the #Monsanto deal was a net and gross negative amidst the mountain of litigation ongoing... At most, folks at #CropSciences would've only considered buying the #patents and rights to anything but #RoundUp because that thing was burning hill of shit!
