[opensuse-factory] Interesting developments on the H.264 codec
In case anyone is interested: http://xiphmont.livejournal.com/61927.html The short of it is, Cisco is making H.264 available at no cost to anyone who wants to use it. It is a legal way (a hack, but legal) to include/distribute H.264. Mozilla is including it in Firefox. Quoting: These modules will be usable by downstream distributions of Firefox, as well as by any other project." (source: https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2013/10/30/video-interoperability-on-the-web-g... ) How does that affect openSUSE? Does this mean a possible change to openSUSE's use/inclusion/availability of H.264 (currently H.264 is included in the Fluendo package)?

Please note this only affect video used for webrtc, not AAC audio. There
is nothing (yet) about a way to plug this binary blob in gstreamer.
