I expect that the actual licensing terms will only cover end users for their own "personal, non-commercial use" (the language used in the end user licensing terms for existing platform codecs in Windows and Flash). These terms will be worded so narrowly that developing WebRTC applications that use the H.264 codec—or just using the codec for business purposes (like placing a video call to one of your coworkers) may need a separate patent license. Technically, the Cisco codec will be distributed as a separate, browser-assisted download, like Flash (which, curiously, is used today mostly for its H.264 capabilities), so there is nothing that Fedora can do. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
