Hi all, I have an application that I would like to package, but it has a dependency on mplayer. It would, therefore, be nice to get a version of mplayer into the Fedora repositories. I know the mplayer project has had some legal difficulties regarding the license previously, but these seem to have been solved some time ago (e.g. Debian includes a version on mplayer). Currently the project is released under GPLv2. The main issue nowadays is probably patents. Apparently support for some formats can not be included without breaking some patents. Does anyone on this list have an idea which formats are problematic from the point of view of the Fedora project? Would removing support for these formats make it possible to include a stripped version of mplayer in the Fedora repositories? MPlayer is a fairly well known piece of software, has this problem been discussed somewhere before? -- Stefan Parviainen _______________________________________________ legal mailing list legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/legal
