Coalition Of Companies Creates WebM CCL
When Google unveiled its WebM open source media format and declared it to be the one codec to rule all others, there were those who decried its usefulness and felt that H.264 should inherit the earth. WebMs power converted some of those, and rally to more to the VP8 / Vorbis cause, 17 companies have now formed the WebM community Cross License (CCL) initiative by inter-mingling their WebM-related IP resources. The passion for streamlining web standards and a willingness to spread the word about WebM couldnt hurt.
