Dear list, I'm considering packaging AGS[1], which, among others, bundles APEG[2]. APEG contains code derived from MPEG Software Simulation Group's MPEG-2 reference code[2], which I understand is Public Domain[3]. So, is it OK to include in Fedora?
Regards, Dominik

The copyright license terms were never the issue with MPEG-2 video, but it is now fine to include MPEG-2 encode/decode support in fedora.
