Cisco has taken their H.264 implementation, and open sourced it under BSD license terms. Development and maintenance will be overseen by a board from industry and the open source community. Furthermore, we have provided a binary form suitable for inclusion in applications across a number of different operating systems, and make this binary module available for download from the Internet. We will not pass on our MPEG-LA licensing costs for this module, and based on the current licensing environment, this will effectively make H.264 free for use on supported platforms.

So Cisco is trying to become Open source and friendly, yet they had committed hundred of violations to GNU licensing... How could you trust them? Their reputation is extremely hostile...

I like to know what FSF has to say about them?
