I agree with you in general, it's probably not patent-free, but i feel that
it will succeed because it's backed a strong company with serious voip

Technically speaking, VP8 is weaker than H.264 but it's definitely better
than Theora!
Let's not reinvent the wheel ! Moroccan universities should drop proprietary
