In an +article today published by Computerworld Norway, the photographer +Eirik Helland Urke reports +that the video editor application included with +HTC One X have some quite surprising terms of use. The article is mostly based on the twitter message from mister Urke, stating:

-"Drøy +"Drøy brukeravtale: HTC kan bruke MINE redigerte videoer kommersielt. Selv -kan jeg KUN bruke dem privat" +kan jeg KUN bruke dem privat."

I quickly translated it to this English message:

-"Arrogant user agreement: HTC can use MINE edited videos commercially. -I can ONLY use them in private." +"Arrogant user agreement: HTC can use MY edited videos +commercially. Although I can ONLY use them privately."

I've been unable to find the text of the license term myself, but suspect it is a variation of the MPEG-LA terms I -discovered -with Canon IXUS 130. The HTC One X specification specifies that +discovered +with my Canon IXUS 130. The HTC One X specification specifies that the recording format of the phone is .amr for audio and .mp3 for video. AMR is -Adaptive +Adaptive Multi-Rate audio codec with patents which according to the Wikipedia article require an license agreement with -VoiceAge. MP4 is -MPEG4 with +VoiceAge. MP4 is +MPEG4 with H.264, which according to Wikipedia require a licence agreement -with MPEG-LA.

+with MPEG-LA.

I know why I prefer +free and open +standards also for video.
