I heartily advocate honoring third-party library licensing terms. Fred, I'm curious about your thoughts on enabling the hooks for the patent-encumbered libraries when building the RPMs for CentOS. I, for one, would welcome that change to the Rivendell reference distribution. That way I can decide on a per-installation basis if I want to risk installing a third-party yum repository. Would you compile Rivendell with a self-compiled version of libmpeg4v2 and libfaad? If so, would you document the version and configuration details in the release notes? Sigh. I see how this can quickly get onerous... Thanks for your consideration! ~David Klann
