That makes me think about XviD. What is their status now ? Are they 
going "public" again ? What are they waiting for ?
The link to MCF is that if XviD had a legal existence and maybe some 
money on the back they could have more power on Sigma, either by taking 
legal actions (they could easily win) but also just using this menace 
against Sigma (that would take it seriously because of the legal 
existence + money) to work things around in a friendlier manner...

I think in the future such problems (violation of the libmcf license or 
abusive use of our format name when a software is not really compliant) 
will enevitably happen. So we might think about it in advance to be 
ready when the time comes.
