Hi Graeme,

Glad to hear you're still interested, sometimes closing a bug will elicit a
response... :)

Can you briefly outline the issues with Moovida 1.0?  Did they change the
license?  Can we cherry-pick stuff from their SVN/Git repo or whatever they use
even if they don't release proper tarballs?

If that's the case, perhaps we could consider moving moovida to RPM Fusion
(assuming licensing would be OK for RPM Fusion)?  It seems like a lot of work
to get 1.x into Fedora if it isn't going to be maintained upstream.

I guess there's no harm in getting into Fedora, however we may have to think
about the long-term if we end up moving it to RPM Fusion later.

Aside: It was annoying that they changed the name from elisa for no good
reason, creating churn (like the need for this re-review in the first place),
now they are retooling again so soon?  What's fluendo's strategy here? (feel
free to e-mail me offline since this is a bit off-topic for the review request)
