Adobe goes corporate open source against Ogg Theora
It may have been upstaged by Microsoft but Adobe’s strategy with its Open Source Media Framework looks very similar.
That strategy is to co-opt the term open source, make it corporate, and maintain dominance of the future.
Microsoft is supporting Linux tools so Linux can live in a Windows world, and Adobe is delivering an open source project so that open source, as a concept, can live in its world of corporate media.
At stake in this case is the standard for video in HTML 5.0. The World Wide Web consortium has a bias in favor of royalty-free, open source standards. While the H.264 codec had market dominance, it had no open source street cred.

hmm..
Does the phrase "Adobe goes corporate open source against Ogg Theora" actually make sense? It doesn't seem to be good English to me.
