  The first link is evidence that video codecs cost money and, as per that source:

  Most video codecs such as H.264, H265/HEVC, MPEG-2, MPEG-4… requires the manufacturer to pay a license fee. The fees are then added to the final product, but the actual codec fees are usually unknown to the end user.

  This was in response to the earlier discussion about third party libraries costing money.

    OK, I guess some third-party libraries do cost money, which is to be expected. That doesn’t change the fact that macOS is free.

      It’s clear you’re acting in bad faith at this point - you’ve completely skipped over anything else I said in my original comment.

        Me: points out of fact

        You: you’re acting in bad faith!

        It still doesn’t make any sense to me. Do you think I’m acting in bad faith because I acknowledge a fact, and you won’t? Or is it because I keep poking holes in your logic?

        Sounds like hurt feelings to me
