VP8 is not encumbered by patents because that patents that are known
about are granted by Google and via Google's deal with MPEG-LA.  Nokia's
threats have failed in Germany, so there remains no known encumbrance
against VP8.

The encumbrance of patents is due to their usage to restrict
free-and-open-usage of technology, which the patents on VP8 do not.  The
same cannot be said to any degree for H.264.
