[vlc] patent menace

[GALAD77]

Hello,

I have recently seen in the web that videolan might close due to patent
problems.
What might be the consequences of current patent tendency?
- Videolan will never see a new release?
- will videolan completely close or only some modules (those that are
patent-attacked)
- All current videolan users will have to change to another application?
- All current projects based on videolan will be become illegal?

thanks in advance,
G.
