Here's an executive summary of the open bugs blocking FE-Legal (damn case-sensitive bugzilla alias lookup). There are indeed a few licensing issues, and a couple of questions about parsing non-patented container formats containing data in some patented format. Which seems obviously OK to me, as otherwise we couldn't package tar or zip. 177134 - mkvtoolnix - deals with encoded data in a specific container format, but does not encode or decode actual data stored within that container (see comment #2). http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=177134#c2 178162 - libgeotiff - the data file included in the package has a licensing issue (see comment #2) http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=178162#c2 190144 - hevea - the documentation has a licensing issue (see comment #7). http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=190144#c7 190343 - VDR - deals with MPEG data from an external source (hardware), but neither encodes nor decodes it (see comment #10). http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=190343#c10 191036 - libmp4v2 - parses the mp4 container format. Does not decode actual data stored in the container. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191036 204166 - xeuphoric - emulator with copyrighted ROMs included. Submitter indicates that all copyrights have lapsed with no successor. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=204166 205798 - xine-lib - patented stuff has already been stripped from the submitted tarball. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205798 205955 - gdal - same problem as libgeotiff, except that unlike libgeotiff, this package actually needs the data to be useful. http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=205955 - J< -- fedora-extras-list mailing list fedora-extras-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-extras-list
