Summary: Review Request: libmp4v2 a library for handling the mp4 container format https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191036 ------- Additional Comments From noa@xxxxxxxxxx 2006-05-08 10:56 EST ------- I've sent this message to legal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx now: I would like to include libmp4v2 into Fedora Extras. It is a library that provides an interface to the mp4 container format. Once included it can be used to provide mp4/aac support to for example easytag. So, my question to the fedora project is this: can fedora extras accept the contribution from a legal standpoint? On one hand the libmp4v2 package has no knowledge about the actual audio and video coding algorithms that are a part of the mpeg 4 standard. That would make it immune to the patent issues surrounding mpeg4 that I'm aware of. On the other hand the patent situation with regards to mpeg 4 is unclear at best. There is some precedent in the form of the id3lib package, that provides similiar functionality but is a little bit more narrow in it's scope. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
