[M4IF Technotes] YUV sequence copyrights

[Jani Huoponen]

Hi,
There was some discussion about video material copyrights in the M4IF
interoperability mailing list some time ago, but does anyone know what is
the copyright status of the widely used foreman, container, news, etc. YUV
secuences? In my understanding they are allowed to be used at least for
research and standardization purposes, is that right? Who owns the
copyrights for these sequences? Are there special limitations for the usage?
BR, Jani
