On June 29, 2007 the Free Software Foundation released the GNU General Public License, version 3. What happened since then? Federico Biancuzzi had the opportunity to discuss many subjects with the FSF's founder and president Richard Stallman.

I saw the latest REAL format (rmvb) the other day and man, it totally blew me away, especially when i saw how small the filesize was. When I was watching the mix videos on silverlight adaptive streaming seamlessly upgrading or degrading quality due to bandwidth fluctuations, or speeding up or slowing down to keep a consistent buffer, that blew me away. The first time I saw HD streaming video over the web done with On2s VP7, I thought I was living in the future.
Theora has never impressed me in the slightest, other then that it still exists, and is pushed by free software advocates, even when it has been surpassed by other free software efforts. It blew my mind when it made it into the HTML5 spec, and made me want to cry when people started talking like it would kill flash.
If it was matroska we were talking about, then yeah, adobe better watch themselves. But Theora? Come on.
