[LUG] How Software Patents Actually Work

 

Learn how software patents actually work in this easy to follow and fun 
animation.

http://wiki.ffii.org/SwpatAnim050418En

At least current versions of Xine, mplayer and Videolan Client should be able 
to play both formats under Linux (thanks to ffmpeg and libavc). No binary 
Windows/x86 codecs are required. Older versions of mplayer, or sometimes also 
recent ones marked as "unencumbered" by your distribution, may only be able 
to play the Windows Media version. 

(Please only link to this wiki page and not directly to the animation videos, 
so the mirrors get an equal load)

The file is 12Mb.
