I need a ruling on whether tivodecode can be accepted into Fedora. It's
currently submitted to rpmfusion, but Kevin Koffler thought it might be
able to be accepted into Fedora proper.
There were three things under consideration:
* Freeness of QUALCOMM software license - appears to be free software
* QUALCOMM encryption patents (free?)
* MPEG program stream decoding (not decompression)
Well, there really is a fourth: this is possibly a DMCA violation. Upon
consultation with counsel, we decided that we're much happier with this
living in RPMFusion as a result.
Thanks for the quick response.
