[M4IF Discuss] RE: [M4IF News] MPEG-4 Visual and Systems Licensing Announced!!

[Mikael Bourges-Sevenier]

Thanks Rob for forwarding these long-awaited terms!
However, what happens to companies that provide a freely downloadable
player?
If I read correctly, they are subject to the $1M/y cap for video and
$100k/y for Systems, am I correct?
Thanks,
Mike
