Vikram and Kevin discuss RealNetwork's plans to open source components
of their Helix line of products. They're using two licenses: GPL
for open source and a commercial license for manufacturers who can't
be bound by the GPL.
Jon continues to explain the need for random-access players and

and standards and why he thinks players will ultimately become authoring
tools.
Dana weighs in on why multimedia has yet to catch on in the corporate
world. Kevin explains that manufacturers are first adding music
playback to handsets aimed at business users, not consumers. [clip]
