Apparently the cunning plan is to work with the Mozilla Foundation to support the newly open codec. The code will also find its way into the Chrome browser. It's not clear whether it will be supported in Internet Explorer or Safari, though.

Some companies are throwing support behind the open source Ogg Theora and others think that H.264 is the future of web video. While Youtube, Microsoft's Internet Explorer 9 and Apple support H.264, Mozilla has refused to support H.264 due to potential licensing issues.

I believe truth and principle do matter. If you have to sacrifice them to get the results you want, then the results aren't worth it.
