It says "Idealism about open formats will not solve our multimedia problem in 
time; in fact, getting stuck on either belief in the technical superiority of 
open source or free-software purism guarantees we will lose. The remaining 
problems aren't technical ones, and none of the interesting patents will 
expire before the end of 2008. We've got to ship something that works now. If 
we let this be a blocking issue preventing overall Linux adoption during the 
transition window, we won't have the userbase to demand changes in the laws 
to untangle the screwed up patent system, or even prevent it from getting 
worse. It's a chicken and egg problem, demanding a workaround until a 
permanent solution can be achieved. We can't set the standards until after we 
take over the world." 

¿Qué les parece la opinión de Eric Raymond?
