After watching Scott’s presentation it seems his viewpoint on open source revolves around the “freeness” of resources out therevideo on the web. On one of his slides he had, “Free: As in free beer”, and “Free: As in free speech”. These codecs and open I could also see his view of the "openness" of video movies are free to use by anyoneon the web as well. Seeing as the whole Open Video movement is aimed towards this. Another point that was brought up was collaboration. By making video open and free over the web, it allows people from different disciplines, places, and so on to collaborate on video project. If many people work on the same project, it will reduce the creation of new projects that have similar functionality thus limiting redundancies.
