Thank god. The actual patent (roughly; I researched it myself, but a few years ago so memory fuzzy) involves compressing frames/video before debayering which makes the streams more easily compressible; instead of after debayering, and as part of a camera (internal RAW). Yeah.

I've been waiting for this result for a long time - great news!!
Wow that’s big!
This is a terrible patent (it's basically a list of features) and unfortunately Red was able to milk it for almost 20 years.
> One possibility the abolition of the license fees reportedly due to Red from users of Apple’s ProRes RAW codec.
This would be great but I’m not going to hold my breath.
