Description: Application-Level Forward Erasure Correction codes, or AL-FEC (also called UL-FEC, for Upper-Layers FEC). The idea, in one line, is to add redundancy in order to be able to recover from erasures. Because of their position in the communication stack, these codes are implemented as software codecs, and they find many applications in robust transmission and distrituted
storage systems.

Comment 1 Jaroslav Škarvada 2022-08-29 22:53:00 UTC
Switched to the roc-toolkit fork with many bugfixes that didn't get to openfec upstream, because the original openfec upstream seems dead. As I want the openfec library to use with the roc-toolkit I am perfectly fine with the fork.

b) The files with licenses:

openfec-1.4.2.4/src/lib_stable/reed-solomon_gf_2_m/galois_field_codes_utils/algebra_2_8.h

are installed or used in the build. License in the spec file should be updated to indicate this and give a breakdown.
c) For the files without an explicit license, what should be assumed CeCILL v1 or CeCILL v2?

I think CeCILL-C is assumed, from the upstream text [1]:
CeCCIL-C is the main licence, for most of the OpenFEC library source code.
