> I agree this is an excellent argument for having _a_ mandatory to implement codec. But it's an argument against having that codec be an encumbered codec. Much better to have it be a free one that everyone is able to deploy. Even Microsoft (via Skype) now deploys VP8.

I wasn't commenting on that part, just that if Mozilla is going to soften up on H.264 you'd think it'd happen to RTCWEB first, VOD second... not the reverse.

As for VP8, we don't actually know if it falls into the set "a free one that everyone is able to deploy", do we?
