Hi all !
Since we have made a deal with MS about patents, I would like to ask include MS-patented Windows Media Codecs (WMA/WMV) with both openSUSE 10.2 and future SUSE versions... (including Enterprise).
We cannot exploit the deal for that. Even if the deal would allow what you hoped for [*], the deal is not perpetual. If it terminates (in 5 years, or for some reason earlier) we'd suddenly infringe MS-patents. Not a good plan, methinks. [*] It does not allow us to include patented code from MS. It actually says quite the opposite: MS somewhat agrees with us, that we don't. cheers, Jw. -- o \ Juergen Weigert paint it green! __/ _=======.=======_ <V> | jw@suse.de __/ _---|____________\/ \ | 0911 74053-508 __/ (____/ /\ (/) | __________________________/ _/ \_ vim:set sw=2 wm=8 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
