We really do need to decide whether the response to a package that can't feasibly have its patented algorithms removed is to drop the package, or live with the patents. If we go for the latter then we've not actually solved the problem of distributing Fedora in places like the US. The former _is_ a simple enough trade-off. We have a "Fedora Free World" repository already... Seriously, folks -- we're only doing for flags the _same_ thing we've done for a bunch of other things that would make it problematic to ship Fedora in certain places. Just because it isn't an issue where _you_ live, that doesn't mean we shouldn't care about it. I wish people would stop being so parochial. -- David Woodhouse Open Source Technology Centre David.Woodhouse@xxxxxxxxx Intel Corporation -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
