libdvdcss package in COPR
by Michal Novotny 10 Jan '18

10 Jan '18

Hello, is it alright to host libdvdcss package in COPR or should it be deleted? (more info here: https://www.videolan.org/legal.html). The licence is ok (GPL) and it's not listed here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Forbidden_items But I am not sure if it goes well with US regulations. See COPR specific regulations here: https://docs.pagure.org/copr.copr/user_documentation.html#what-i-can-build-… Thank you Michal Novotny

Is OpenSpades content license acceptable for COPR?
by Mihai-Drosi Caju 21 Nov '17

Greetings, I would like to distribute OpenSpades on COPR. The license of the code itself is GPLv3. But it depends on content which I am not sure can be distributed on COPR. I have attached a link to the license in question below. Can I distribute the files in question on COPR? https://github.com/yvt/openspades-paks/blob/master/Nonfree/LICENSE.md

Announcement: fdk-aac
by Tom Callaway 12 Oct '17

12 Oct '17

Hi Fedorans! Today, a Third-Party Modified Version of the Fraunhofer FDK AAC Codec Library for Android has been cleared for inclusion in Fedora. This specific library has been modified to be useful with Linux and gstreamer, and provides some support for encoding and decoding of the AAC digital audio codec. The package containing this library is called "fdk-aac". No other AAC implementations (regardless of copyright license) are permitted in Fedora at this time. Thanks, Tom Callaway

Also, fwiw, I gave Adam the all clear on this, I've just been traveling and hadn't had a chance to reply to this thread until now. ~tom On Oct 3, 2017 2:35 PM, "Adam Jackson" <ajax(a)redhat.com> wrote: On Tue, 2017-10-03 at 07:32 -0400, Neal Gompa wrote: > On Tue, Oct 3, 2017 at 6:47 AM, Yanko Kaneti <yaneti(a)declera.com> wrote: > > On Mon, 2017-10-02 at 14:46 -0400, Neal Gompa wrote: > > > Hey, > > > > > > With the S3TC patent expired[1], can we pull libtxc_dxtn into Fedora > > > proper now? > > > > This seems to be going directly into mesa proper and probably > > backported to older (17.x) mesa-s that Fedora cares about. > > > > https://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id= 04396a134f003aece573df593acfa1ab4418ffe8 > > > > On the contrary, it looks like it's *not* getting backported because > they're removing the dlopen() stuff to go with it, since that's not > needed anymore. Fortunately I have git-cherry-pick so I don't have to care what upstream does.
