AC-3 in Fedora

[Neal Gompa]

Hey,

So, people on the internet are talking about "AC-3 Freedom Day" being
yesterday[1], that is, the last standards-essential patent expired
yesterday at midnight. Can we look at allowing AC-3 stuff in Fedora
now?

Yes! Nicolas Chauvet started importing liba52 already.

Right now, liba52 is cleared to go in. Other implementations need to go
through Fedora Legal.
