It is impossible to completely avoid IPR issues altogether to everyone's
satisfaction.  But there are two camps that have emerged, that is to
say, one that says H.264 IPR issues are a no go, and those that say the
same for VP8 (mostly in light of contentment with either MPEG-LA's
licensing terms or Cisco's plugin/module).

So, both camps' concerns can be addressed by allowing each camp to still
implement their own preferences, while H.261 is presented as an option
to allow interop between those that fall strictly into one of the two
above camps, with H.261 being asserted as confidently possibly to be
implemented, albeit perhaps in a basic form, without much IPR concern
from anyone.
