Oh sorry for posting twice I closed evolution halfway through sending it :) What I meant was can we ship it in the default codec pack with theora, FLAC, vorbis...etc? It seems Google picked a BSD style licence for the spec http://webmproject.org/license/software/ Its still in heavy development but I would like if we can get it in Maverick as soon as soon as it hits the Debian repo. --fagan -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
