Tandberg hardly employed any subtlety. The company has one of its employers following the x264 project's IRC development channel and the guy who registered the patent is known to the X264 project.
In addition to being free to use under the GNU GPL, x264 is also available under a commercial license from x264 LLC and CoreCodec. Contact info@x264licensing.com for more details.
