Debian, which is known to be strict with inclusion of packages in their
main "section", ships this library with the following note.

This package DOES NOT provide any key or certificate that could be used
to decode encrypted copyrighted material. It is based on the official
public AACS specification only.

It already has 44 votes, so I guess you can move it without asking (but thank 
you because you did!).

If you maintain it I'm fine.

Looks fine to me. They explicitly state that the stuff is fully legal,
no grey area. But it's good that you brought it up. When unsure,
always get more opinions.

At least libdvdcss is probably illegal in the US under the DMCA (I am no
lawyer, but this is what I "heard"). In Germany, for example, libdvdcss
is legal since the CSS protection has been declared "ineffective" by a
court and thus working around it is legal (I have no idea if software by
itself can even be illegal in Germany).

libaacs cannot break AACS encryption without extra data (which is not
and should not be delivered with the package). I have no idea how this
would affect its standing under the DMCA or any other law in any
country. The same goes for the newly released libbdplus.

IMO, if we can publish a libdvdcss build, we can also publish a libaacs
build - thus far nobody ever cared.

[arch-dev-public] libaacs - suitable for [community]?

2014-01-07 Thread Martin Wimpress
Hi,

One of the packages I'd like to move from the AUR to [community] is
`libaacs` [1]. I think is suitable because I see that `libdvdcss` is in
[extra].

But after a chat in #archlinux-tu I was suggested that I should check
here first.

Thoughts?
