I am looking for someone to intergrate x264 for openwengo linux and

done and how much.
You know that MPEG-LA claims to own H264 patents? Additionally, GPL may
be incompatible with their "nondiscriminatory access to essential
AVC/H.264 patents".

a) maybe not:

b) dont' forget that EVERYTHING under the sun of software developement
has been patented (USA sw patents are around 300.000, EPO has aproved
30.000 so far or more). You can't write Wengophone without infringing
some hundreds of patents. Software patents are a madness, help fight
them at any level, without any compromise. Join and send money to FFII
(www.ffii.org) if you are in Europe and don't want EPO pratice to become
law. Don't want to infringe patents? Stop developing, there is no other
way (no, in 90% of the case you can't "workaround" patents, since they
cover ideas, not specific implementations).
