How does having that binary library (of which you bought X thousand licenses) in a branch of your repository cause IP pollution?


As I understand it, the MP3 codec license transferred to DNNA. Then, when Sigmatel bought Rio from DNNA, the license didn't transfer. So, unless I misunderstand something, the MP3 codec license in question still belongs to DNNA, and Sigmatel can't use it.


That's not a problem -- we already have the binary mp3 decoder .so on our players. No need to keep redistributing that part!
