Cineform goes Open Source!
The official blog post and the software development kit.

One reason for keeping it closed, you might be surprised to hear, is that the codec's core tech was very simple. The codec idea was sketched out on a single piece of paper and the performance was determined first by counting the number of Intel instructions needed using an Excel spreadsheet -- even that fit on a single page.

Well I think that's great news! :) Does that mean that a developer could now build [say] a new colour grading app that leveraged CF's Active Metadata? It would be great to have a modern-coded lightweight [mac] app that replaced the old GoPro Studio Premium (which never got the love it deserved on the mac). Just wondering out loud...  ;D
