Some further information about this (and how it relates to the Daala effort):
HN article: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10042469

Brief punchline of HN discussion is that Daala and Thor are working
synergestically,
taking good ideas from each other to (hopefully) get something
royalty/patent free
as part of NetVC effort (IETF proposed standard).
