''AddToMe: incorporate info from [Players for Unix | https://player.helixcommunity.org/2004/unix/] and [Helix Player vs RealPlayer | https://player.helixcommunity.org/2004/unix/helixrealfaq.html]''

[Helix Community | http://www.helixcommunity.com/] is a forum for collaboration between Real Networks, independent developers, and companies to create and extend a comprehensive and (ostensibly?) open [media delivery platform | https://www.helixcommunity.org/2002/intro/platform], called Helix DNA. This means that the RealPlayer client and encoder are becoming OpenSource, so they will probably support OggVorbis/OggTheora and other formats in the future.

However, the Real [CoDec]s remain closed. [It has been argued | http://thomas.apestaart.org/log/index.php?p=191] that Real Networks are simply trying to beat WindowsMedia by getting their player onto as many desktops as possible, so that content providers will buy the Real server suite.
