if softwre patents dont exist there, I would imagine that someone could write a codec and release that from within those countries legally. It should be on the person who downloads it to pay if required to do so, but sometimes courts are strange beasts ... Certainly the gpl'ed patch file (which isnt a valid gpl since you cant have the dependancies they do) that uses the intel code (which requires a license to get access to) shouldnt be much of a problem for people to get and use (other than the crap you have to deal with from intel to get the code and all the stuff that way ...) But if someone were to write something on their own they should be able to release it without a problem. But I know very little about legal systems outside the US so I really cant say. I would be interested however to hear digiums position on this, although I think I already know what they are going to say since they are US based. -- Trixter http://www.0xdecafbad.com Bret McDanel UK +44 870 340 4605 Germany +49 801 777 555 3402 US +1 360 207 0479 or +1 516 687 5200 FreeWorldDialup: 635378
