Well first of all, I find this interpretation of the GPL rather extreme. A GStreamer plugin is a derived work of GStreamer, but it is not a derived work of rhythmbox (unless rb as shipped actually requires it for normal operation, of course). However I understand that people want to be on the safe side and adopt the most conservative interpretation. > So, with the exception a distro or mobile device OS using > GNOME/GStreamer could purchase a MP3 audio license and include that with > their GStreamer based-engine. They could also purchase a patent license for a free MP3 implementation. It’s not as if there weren’t any such implementations. > Considering how important mobile is to the GNOME community these days, > and how important it is to play things like mp3 audio files or YouTube > videos on mobile devices, I would think this would be pretty important > issue and concern. I don’t like spreading statements implying the assumption that free software-based h264 or MP3 playback is illegal. This is what Fraunhoffer and the MPEG consortium would like to be true, but please don’t assume they are right. -- .''`. : :' : We are debian.org.
