First of all, there are no patents prior to 2000.  Thus, anything in a
QuickTime spec from before 2000 can be implemented.

Second, there are a bunch of patents with titles like "Method and system for
encoding rotations and normals in 3D generated scenes".  We'll just ignore that
one.

Third, most of the patents cover muxing, not demuxing, and only cover specific
aspects of muxing.  Like encoding rotations and normals in 3D generated scenes.

So, I'd like to see some specific actual IP that covers QuickTime demuxing that
qtdemux does or is likely to do in the near future.  Otherwise, I'm likely to
label this as just paranoia.
