It includes one working backend, i965_drv_video, which does accelerated MPEG decoding on Intel i965 hardware. I'm not sufficiently knowledgeable about the applicable patents in this area, nor enough of a coder to understand exactly what gets done in the code in libva as opposed to what gets done in the hardware on the card, so I don't know if this component of the package is shippable in Fedora or not. We can always ship the package without it, but I'd like to find out whether that's necessary. Hence, blocking FE-LEGAL. The code in question is in the i965_drv_video/ directory within the source tarball in the SRPM.
