But what kind of legal risk are we talking about here? I can't really see why VLC would be worse than pretty much anything else we ship in terms of patents, for example (there are patents covering a ton of stuff we do). If it is the DVD de-scrambling that is in a separate library, and AFAIK it is fairly straight-forward to just build libdvdread and/or VLC without that dependency. From some simple googling it seems like fedora already ships a libdvdread without de-scrambling enabled, for example. -- Martin Sandsmark _______________________________________________ Amarok-devel mailing list Amarok-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok-devel
