Gstreamer and GNUGstreamer and GNUPosted Dec 13, 2005 21:00 UTC (Tue) by proski (subscriber, #104)In reply to: Gstreamer and GNU by cantsin Parent article: GStreamer to support DRM I think DRM can be implemented in free software if the code is not intended to impose limitations on the users, or, in other words, if anything that limits the user is not a part of free software.

Gstreamer and GNU Posted Dec 13, 2005 22:27 UTC (Tue) by cantsin (subscriber, #4420) [Link] It was clear to me that DRM support can be implemented as free software aslong as the code is free. But that a program is free software is one thing. It is yet another thing if this program officially belongs to the GNU project, i.e. if it's not just being GPLed or LPLed, but part of the FSF's official GNU software stack like Gnome is. In the latter case, DRM support would contradict GNU's stated philosophy and politics.
Gstreamer and GNU Posted Dec 14, 2005 5:37 UTC (Wed) by proski (subscriber, #104) [Link] Indeed, GNOME states that it's a GNU project and includes GStreamer, version 0.8.3.Anyway, I think there is no need to contact GNU and GNOME until a DRM enabled version of GStreamer is actually released. Many stated intentions never materialize.
