Well that depends, doesn't it? If openshot actually packages the
codecs that provide AVCHD support then no. If it just interfaces with
separately installed codecs (from PRM Fusion or other) then why not?

openshot itself is open source and GPL licensed, so I'm not sure if
there's any other requirements but that seems in line with the
requirements...
