Hi all.
I want to add rnnoise (Recurrent neural network for audio noise reduction) to Fedora repo. Upstream https://gitlab.xiph.org/xiph/rnnoise My Review Request https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1919606
I have some doubts about patents in this program. But one of the authors answered me by email. See forwarded message below.
So сan I get permission from the Legal Team to add this package?

Hi Vasiliy,
I saw you were inquiring about the legal status of RNNoise. I don't like making public comments involving patents, but I can say that I do not have knowledge of any patent that would cover the RNNoise code. Also, that code was written while I was employed by Mozilla (I am no longer with them) and we did not file any patent on it. So I hope this helps.
