Is this actually true? I don't see that mentioned in their Wikipedia page. According to that the Xiph.Org Foundation developed the format.
You are correct. They are using the file format heavily but didn't develop it initially. The German wikipedia page is a bit confusingly laid out in that regard leading to my mistake (They are classifing the use as a "tecnical development" along with the stuff the EBU actually developed).
The EBU is and was involved in the development of technical specs such as DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) or DVB (Digital Video Broadcasting) but FLAC isn't one of them.
Oh right 👍. I forget that Wikipedia has pages in other languages and that they aren't necessarily written by the same author.
