Correction: FSF issued a statement in full support of WebM on May 19, 15:19, basically as a follow-up on their February open letter. They’re integrating WebM into their PlayOgg campaign via the relevant mailing list.

It may be completely obvious, but some of the comments in this article make it seem like Xiph.org and Christopher Montgomery would be negatively impacted or disappointed about the competition/crushing of Ogg Theora, while not at all mentioning the fact that WebM includes Vorbis which was also worked on by him and is headed by Xiph.org as well. I’d guess that’s why Christopher is saying it’s wonderful and is generally optimistic about it, and also why he was contacted by Google.
