https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1637139 --- Comment #3 from Nicolas Chauvet (kwizart) <kwizart@xxxxxxxxx> --- Hello Dimitry, Thx for asking. The current intel-media-driver package is provided by RPM Fusion with "full features" as part of the "nonfree" section. For the record, the libva-intel-driver is also provided by RPM Fusion, but there on the "free" section. As it was rejected from Fedora because, as I understood, it could rely on some patented algorithms implemented in software. To be allowed in Fedora, at least theses two conditions have to be met, only FLOSS code (no hex files) and no patented concept in software. Also to note that the Fedora packaging policy requests to expunge the source tarball used at build time and redistributed in Fedora from any non-free or patented code. As I'm concerned, I don't plan to sort out if a free only version with partial acceleration worth than nothing (also because I don't have the needed hw), but that's a task that can be picked by anyone else. So if some is interested in, it should be possible for someone else to maintain an intel-media-driver-free package that can co-exist with the full-featured intel-media-driver from RPM Fusion. On the same idea, if someone wants a free only version, but isn't affected if some patented concept are implemented in software, then one can submit an intel-media-driver-freeworld package that should be acceptable in the RPM Fusion free section. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
