Is Cisco's OpenH264 considered open source?
If so, can a pseudo repository be created via gnome-software that will add
this package to an installed system?
(On the audio end, I think all known MP3 decoding patents are due to expire
prior to the release of Fedora 23.)
Even if it is considered Open Source, it's only video, we don't have an AAC
decoder
with a similar license.
