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.<br>
<br>I am very tired of this discussion, and I am not prepared to go through it all again with the fedora legal dept.<br><br>Please just point me to just one registered patent that the core of ffmpeg is known to violate.<br>
Otherwise you are just spreading FUD.<br><br><br clear="all">Salsaman.<br><br><a href="http://lives.sourceforge.net">http://lives.sourceforge.net</a><br><a href="https://www.ohloh.net/accounts/salsaman">https://www.ohloh.net/accounts/salsaman</a><br>

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