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.
Actually they would just need to disclose the idea in a publication, making the concept non-patentable again. However it is harder to defend
