>Trying to milk the last drop before the patents expire?

Old licenses are grandfathered in previous pricing. So this isn't about milking, but likely a tactic specifically aiming at certain companies. But I am wondering why they bother to do this at this stage of the game.

I am hoping we could further innovate on top of H.264 to have a better patent free video codec.
