Davilla might be fanning some flames in this thread, but what you said there isn't true at all. Not even a tiny little bit. He stands up for open source and makes sure it is followed to the letter. If there was one person I wouldn't have to worry about as far as "locking" things way as closed source, it would be him.
You have to look at why he's ripping on h.265. He's quite clear about his reasons. He's not entirely wrong, either. I don't think it will be as bad as he's expecting it to be, but it's still a very rational opinion. It's not about the codec itself, but more about people's expectations of "the next best thing".
Whatever though. Everyone just needs to stop. (Not that I'm much better about arguing on the forums, sometimes)
