Ok, that may be a bit strong, but there's some serious cause for concern, at least for patents issued in the U.S. since 2000.

		<description><![CDATA[As of today, Adobe has removed all license restrictions on the use of the Flash SWF and FLV/F4V formats, as well as the AMF protocol. This is exciting news, since it means that more folks can get into the business of building Flash  playback devices and systems that can talk directly to Flash. This [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me say this first: I am an optimist.
This statement may come as a surprise to those who know me personally (I&#8217;m a bit cynical at times), but it&#8217;s true. I have faith in all sorts of optimistic ideals and fantasies of the way things should be. And I really believe that there is an alternative [...]]]></description>
