Google On2
That’s one way to handle the problem of how do you license codecs for a free browser: Buy the company that makes them.
It’s not H.264, but it’s good enough. And now presumably it won’t cost Google anything more to distribute it.

On2 VP8 is supposedly really good compared with H.264. Even if it turns out to be only almost as good though, the real issue is patents, an whether or not On2 has enough to fend off the MPEG LA.
