MPEG LA announced today that its AVC Patent Portfolio License will continue not to charge royalties for Internet Video that is free to end users (known as “Internet Broadcast AVC Video”) during the entire life of this License. MPEG LA previously announced it would not charge royalties for such video through December 31, 2015, and today’s announcement makes clear that royalties will continue not to be charged for such video beyond that time.=

The failure with the MPEG-LA's announcement is that you still can't distribute something like Mozilla as open source and include an h.264 decoder that other people can use without risk.

Specifically, this only affects the fact that they will
continue not to charge royalties for Internet Video that is free to end users
and this leaves people using encoders/decoders open. Sure, it'll keep -Youtube- and the like in the clear, but everything you need to view those videos still needs a patent license.

-by this I mean youtube could inspire other video sharing services to move towards H264...
Well Vimeo.com is experimenting with HTML5 as well:
