Re: [AVT] New I-D on JVT packetization

Dear Reha,

Thanks for your comments.  I was unaware of the RFC, however I did know 
about the patents.  I doubt that the existence of the patents pose a 
problem to the process in AVT.  After all, the discussion in the draft 
about the Parameter Sets is merely a description of mechanisms available in 
JVT.  In JVT, however, we may have a problem (though I doubt it) with the 
license free baseline policy.  For the payload spec, we are simply talking 
about a bit stream content.  So far I haven't heard of any mechanisms 
defined in the RFC that are patent protected.

Regarding the problem of the license free baseline, I plan to comment on 
the JVT reflector (after Wednesday, I'm on travel now).

Best regards,
Stephan
