Illegal in what country? At least in the US, and I thought most other countries, I thought that the x264 format patent provided for free use by end-users, but not device manufacturers that used the encoding in a camera.
IANAL and do not pretend to be one. The point is that SUSE legal have determined some packages to be blacklisted for a myriad of reasons, as you may see in the link Stefan provided. These packages should not (unless a future re-think from legal deems otherwise) be on OBS. P.S.: I have also sent a mail to the buildservice ML as suggested by Stephan. -- Atri
