All you ever need to know about H.264 licensing…

Using H.264 to distribute free internet video to end users doesn’t cost a thing, and won’t cost anything until at least 2015.

[But] people are mad because they will have to pay to make and distribute videos for commercial use [after that]?

Yes, but it’s not as bad as it seems.

First off, we’ve directly asked MPEG-LA whether or not using an H.264 camera simply to shoot video for a commercial purpose requires a license, and the answer is no.

We’ve also asked whether an end user watching H.264 videos would ever have to pay or be licensed, and the answer to that question is also no.

Yes, the license terms are worded poorly, but those are the answers straight from the patent horse’s mouth. Everyone can breathe again, ‘kay?
