Hello, When looking for some video-editing software, I found avidemux. According to the wnpp bug, there is a problem with license issues regarding the MPEG2/MPEG4 codec. There is a software patent on this codec, and a paid license is needed in order to use it, appearantly.
My question is how Debian handles software patents. I thought we didn't care about them except if they were actively enforced, because it's completely impossible to avoid all patented software, considering the junk that gets patented. If that is the case, would any of you know if the MPEG[24] codec patents are actively enforced? In other words, can this be in Debian?
