I forget if this was discussed on this list:

The title of the article is a bit misleading, but this should put to
rest the question of whether HTML5 will now adopt h.264 for the
standard.
It is important to note that there is still a royalty on decoders
that are embedded in an operating system, like Windows or OS-X, or in
other IT based products. But this has always been true for h.264, and
the relatively low annual cap on this royalty - now $6.5 million per
year - has proven to be a viable solution.
