Why is everyone raising a fit over *Google* of all companies trying to patent a video compression algorithm? Don't people realize that if *they* can get it then *so can any of the shitstain companies that are members of the H.265 patent pools*? This is a Good Thing.
If Google gets the patent, great, you can argue the patent system is crap, but at least *they* got the patent and then *everyone* can use it royalty-free. If Google doesn't get the patent then great. If Google doesn't *try* to get the patent and someone else does we're *fucked*.
This is the Alliance for Open Media's patent license, of which Google is a founding member, and which they're *obviously* going to license this patent under. Go on, read it, it's a lot shorter and simpler than the GPL. https://aomedia.org/license/patent-license/ …
Software patents are evil, but we're *stuck* with them, and as long as we are, I damn well hope Google patents as much video compression stuff as they possibly can, for the sake of open, royalty-free, advanced video compression algorithms. H.264/265 and their licensors can DIAF.
People are complaining because oh noes google might own everything without looking at the bigger picture
People are complaining because Google just half-ass-pulled-out of a ridiculously evil government AI program and suddenly everything Google does must be the epitome of evil. They're forgetting that just because Google is somtimes evil doesn't mean other companies aren't 10x worse.
