Summary: Review Request: gsm - Shared libraries for GSM speech compressor https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=228186 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-02-11 06:56 EST ------- Recycling an old comment: [...] Based on moderate Googling, there is no evidence of public patent claims by Philips or any court cases specific to GSM 06.10 (they do hold patents > for much newer GSM technology). There's only second hand knowledge which dates back as far as Nov 2000: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03976.html Jutta Deneger, one of the authors of the "gsm" package, also appears in that thread and has still not been contacted by Philips while she still offers the code on her home page. The patent analyzed in that thread, http://www.freepatentsonline.com/4932061.html expires in roughly more than one year. It is believed to not apply to GSM 06.10. [...] Remember, libsndfile contains a copy of "gsm" and also is in Fedora. The libsndfile author also is not aware of anything else than very vague rumours and therefore is unconcerned. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list [email protected] http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
