Should I better make changes to https://github.com/rpmfusion/alsa-plugins-freeworld/blob/master/alsa-plugins-freeworld.spec ? Please post direct URLs to spec and srpm. This code or algorithm has patent restrictions? Why not in free section or main Fedora repo? https://github.com/socketpair/dcaenc-rpm/releases/download/test_tag/dcaenc-3-1.1641240505.2.ef0e39d.fc34.src.rpm https://github.com/socketpair/dcaenc-rpm/releases/download/test_tag/dcaenc.spec Yes, this algorithm HAS U.S. patent. Specifications on DTS are free, but implementation is patented. Thanks for your interest in joining RPM Fusion. Can you clarify why you think this package is relevant only for rpmfusion ? (or even nonfree ?) I wonder if DTS still have active patent ? (so this might be allowed in fedora). Maybe the plugin part should be better handled in the alsa-plugins upstream sources at https://www.alsa-project.org/ ? (so it will end in the fedora alsa-plugins package instead...) From a quick search, some patents have expired not sure if all of them have... https://patents.google.com/patent/US6760448 https://patents.google.com/patent/US5956674A Also changelog added and (noreplace) for config. https://github.com/socketpair/dcaenc-rpm/releases/download/test_tag2/dcaenc-3-1.1641241220.3.44debae.fc34.src.rpm https://github.com/socketpair/dcaenc-rpm/releases/download/test_tag2/dcaenc.spec Actually, there are two DTS specs, used to write the encoder. One of them does not contain any patent references. Also, the decoder (libdca) is in rpmfusion-free. I don't know. Possibly libdca also should be moved to main Fedora repository because of some patents expiration. P.S. There is the latest DTS spec, containing some patent references. https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/102100_102199/102114/01.01.01_60/ts_102114v010101p.pdf (very old - actually it was only used for writing the code) https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/102100_102199/102114/01.03.01_60/ts_102114v010301p.pdf (old) https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_ts/102100_102199/102114/01.05.01_60/ts_102114v010501p.pdf (latest) The last references this: https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_sr/000300_000399/000314/02.26.02_60/sr_000314v022602p.pdf PLEASE help me decide where to put the package. I would like to put it in main Fedora repos, and also strike libdca authors to do the same. > I don't know. Possibly libdca also should be moved to main Fedora repository because of some patents expiration. It's well possible. We can migrate libdca to fedora at one point. > PLEASE help me decide where to put the package. Best would be to submit a fedora review first, then head the legal review. We could still re-open the review here if the legal review is negative. libdca was moved into fedora. Please open the review in fedora (you can add the link here for theses interested). |
