Patent Fights Are a Legacy of MP3's Tangled Origins (NYTimes)Patent Fights Are a Legacy of MP3's Tangled Origins (NYTimes)Posted Mar 6, 2007 20:56 UTC (Tue) by gravious (guest, #7662)In reply to: Patent Fights Are a Legacy of MP3's Tangled Origins (NYTimes) by JoeBuck Parent article: Patent Fights Are a Legacy of MP3's Tangled Origins (NYTimes)
Not knowing a clue about what Fluendo have licensed I will nevertheless confidently go on the record as saying "yes" giving the legal ownership minefield that article surveys. Let us hope Gstreamer .10 is not blown up in the process. I would welcome any knowledgeable rebuttals so as they don't call my intelligence in general into question.

Patent Fights Are a Legacy of MP3's Tangled Origins (NYTimes) Posted Mar 6, 2007 23:31 UTC (Tue) by JoeBuck (subscriber, #2330) [Link] Their MP3 codec is a separate product; if it is found legally risky then this has no impact on the rest of gstreamer (which doesn't do MP3).
Patent Fights Are a Legacy of MP3's Tangled Origins (NYTimes) Posted Mar 7, 2007 2:26 UTC (Wed) by louie (subscriber, #3285) [Link] It also depends on where the patents are registered and whether or not they are valid in Spain, as Fluendo is not a US company and (AFAIK) has no US assets.
Patent Fights Are a Legacy of MP3's Tangled Origins (NYTimes) Posted Mar 8, 2007 0:31 UTC (Thu) by JoeBuck (subscriber, #2330) [Link] What you're missing is that Fluendo has a product specifically designed to be sold to people in the US, that claims to be a licensed MP3 codec. So they are affected.
