Spec URL: https://ngompa.fedorapeople.org/for-review/xeve.spec SRPM URL: https://ngompa.fedorapeople.org/for-review/xeve-0.4.3-1.fc39.src.rpm Description: The eXtra-fast Essential Video Encoder (XEVE) is an opensource and fast MPEG-5 EVC encoder. MPEG-5 Essential Video Coding (EVC) is a video compression standard of ISO/IEC Moving Picture Experts Grop (MPEG). The main goal of the EVC is to provide a significantly improved compression capability over existing video coding standards with timely publication of terms. EVC defines two profiles, including "Baseline Profile" and "Main Profile". The "Baseline profile" contains only technologies that are older than 20 years or otherwise freely available for use in the standard. In addition, the "Main profile" adds a small number of additional tools, each of which can be either cleanly disabled or switched to the corresponding baseline tool on an individual basis. This package only includes the "Baseline profile". Fedora Account System Username: ngompa

Requesting FE-Legal to review whether the stripping is sufficient.
Hi Neal, From discussing this with the internal team, the feedback is that the video codecs need to be released 25+ years in order to be included in Fedora and/or RHEL, and the bz's (including rhbz#2244820) and/or github files associated with them are not clear that they meet this criteria. Is there a way you can verify that they do in fact meet this requirement? Thanks, Aoife

That being said, the whitepaper published by MPEG about the new codec explicitly notes this: > The Baseline profile contains technologies assessed to be over 20 years to maximally approach to a royalty free codec. > The Baseline profile builds a video codec using only conventional coding technologies which consist of traditional methods > from the early 1980s to the end of the 1990s. From: https://www.mpeg.org/wp-content/uploads/mpeg_meetings/136_OnLine/w21036.zip From: https://www.mpeg.org/standards/MPEG-5/1/ From that perspective, it should fulfill the necessary requirements.
Thank you for the quick reply! Let me take this back to the team and see if this satisfies the requirements to unblock this bug and the associated bug too.
