Theoretically, by law, we could not use > this plugin with Rhythmbox, but we could with Totem. Rhythmbox uses gstreamer, it would be gstreamer that uses the plugin. Rhythmbox does not link against the plugin, does not require the plugin, etc. For that matter - neither does gstreamer. I don't think there would be a legal problem. If there was - can I use my X11 server which is MIT to display an emacs window? What about emacs opening an X11 window? I don't see a difference between that and rhythmbox using gstreamer (lgp) which talks to this plugin. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
