Looking specifically at this AVS2 implementation, which is licensed under GPLv2, it is worth noting the following license clause: ***** 7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. ***** It would be necessary (at a minimum) to have a GPLv2 compatible patent license in order to resolve this issue. Today, our only option is to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
