We cannot comment on specific patents, not now, not ever. Red Hat has determined that it is now acceptable for Fedora to include MP3 decoding functionality (not specific to any implementation, or binding by any unseen agreement).

To a degree. Could we get a confirmation that the following software could therefore be added, should a maintainer be so interested:
gst-fluendo-mp3: http://core.fluendo.com/gstreamer/src/gst-fluendo-mp3/ libmad: http://www.underbit.com/products/mad/ Also, for the sake of clarity, what is the status of: * MPEG-1 Audio Layer II (MP2) encoding (e.g. twolame)? * MPEG-1 video decoding (e.g. smpeg, which also includes MP3 decoding)? -- Yaakov Selkowitz Software Engineer - Platform Enablement Group Red Hat, Inc. _______________________________________________ legal mailing list -- legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to legal-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
