Summary: Review Request: libmp4v2 a library for handling the mp4 container 
format


https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191036





------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED]  2006-05-08 10:56 EST -------
I've sent this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] now:

I would like to include libmp4v2 into Fedora Extras. It is a library
that provides an interface to the mp4 container format. Once included it
can be used to provide mp4/aac support to for example easytag.

So, my question to the fedora project is this: can fedora extras accept
the contribution from a legal standpoint? On one hand the libmp4v2
package has no knowledge about the actual audio and video coding
algorithms that are a part of the mpeg 4 standard. That would make it
immune to the patent issues surrounding mpeg4 that I'm aware of. On the
other hand the patent situation with regards to mpeg 4 is unclear at
best.

There is some precedent in the form of the id3lib package, that provides
similiar functionality but is a little bit more narrow in it's scope.
