  Description : Proxy for using W3C WebDriver-compatible clients to
interact with Gecko-based browsers.

 Proxy for using W3C WebDriver-compatible clients to interact
 with Gecko-based browsers.
 .
 This program provides the HTTP API described by the WebDriver protocol
 to communicate with Gecko browsers, such as Firefox. It translates
 calls into the Firefox remote protocol by acting as a proxy between the
 local and remote ends.

geckodriver is used for automation of the Firefox web browser. It is 
required by packages that test web applications by simulating user 
interactions, e.g. python3-selenium.

I suspect you meant to say that there are H.264 patents that may be
applicable and that Debian should evaluate this risk using its normal
proocesses and policies for looking at software patents.

THOSE PROCESSES DO NOT INVOLVE debian-legal.  Discussing patents in a
public forum may result in speculative communication--like the assertion
above where you said that patents are applicable and where you probably
meant to say that the patents may be applicable--being produced in
response to allegations of patent infringement.
That harms Debian.
Thus, we have a policy that we discuss patents only in privileged
communication.
See https://www.debian.org/legal/patent


and if you are concerned about a specific patent risk, write to
pate...@debian.org.
