Re: Inaccurate information about LiVES package

[salsaman <salsaman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Please answer the question. I have been personally assured by representatives of the mplayer developers that the ffmpeg code contains *no patented code*. I spent over two years fighting to convince the debian developers that this was true, until they finally accepted it.

I am very tired of this discussion, and I am not prepared to go through it all again with the fedora legal dept.

Please just point me to just one registered patent that the core of ffmpeg is known to violate.

Otherwise you are just spreading FUD.

This is the wrong place to raise legal questions wrt Fedora packaging, or
potential new packages for Fedora. They should be directed to Fedora Legal
team

 http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Legal

 "If you have any legal questions that can be discussed in public,
  post to fedora-legal-list . If you have any private legal questions
  send a mail to legal AT fedoraproject.org"

Regards,
Daniel
