Dave Fancella, webmaster de son site éponyme, a publié une interview de Monty, développeurs chez Xiph connu pour ses logiciels Open Source tel que le fameux Vorbis (souvent couplé avec l'Ogg).
"Me: Why did you decide to write Vorbis when we already had mp3? Did you actually decide to write it after mp3 became popular, or does vorbis somehow predate mp3?
Monty: My work in compression predates mp3. I'd written a few codecs before Vorbis and started the Ogg project when I was still an undergraduate. It was a fun personal project but never had any substantial direction. By early 1998, I'd actually mostly lost interest in Ogg development.
In the fall of 1998, Fraunhofer (through Thomson) decided to start enforcing their mp3 patents and sent out the famous cease-and-desist letters that wiped out all the free mp3 encoder projects for a few years. The irony was that mp3 would never have succeeded without the free projects around it; FhG never really knew what it had. However, once it was clear there was money to be made, suddenly it was time to cash in on the IP. I don't think FhG pulled a bait-and-switch on purpose, I believe they were just clueless until money stared them in the face.
Vorbis was started in the fall of 1998 as a direct response to the threatened legal action against the open source community. If they were uninterested in throwing a bone to the community that turned mp3 into a cash-cow for them, they could be replaced. Ogg and Vorbis will be applying downward pricing pressure on MPEG's licensing pool for decades to come."
