Hi Nick,

There is the related legal question about whether or not any LZW implementations might be infringing on the Unisys patent, or if that even matters anymore. This was the related issue I was attempting to elucidate the other night. In other words an additional question related to the contribution.

If that is trouble then it may not matter if we get the author to change the license as the contribution may need to go. I don't now what that means for HDGF...

Regards,
Dave

So, yes, one for legal-discuss for now. I'll go and subscribe, Yukka do you want to kick of the issue over there to get us started?

I have an email ready to go to legal-discuss about this, but I'm holding off for a few days. I'm talking with the author of vsdump about dual licensing the file in question, which would mean we wouldn't need to seek an exemption, which'd make everyone's lives much easier :)

I should hopefully hear back more from Valek by the weekend (he's a bit busy over the next few days), but if that doesn't work I will take things over to legal-discuss as originally planned

Nick
