   "As if the current situation with software patents wasn't bad
   enough, it appears a new phenomenon is emerging: companies are
   watching the commit logs of open source projects for ideas to
   patent. In this case, Tandberg filed a patent that was step-by-step
   identical to an algorithm developed by the x264 project — a mere two
   months after the original commit. The particular algorithm is a
   useful performance optimization in a wide variety of video encoders,
   including Theora."
