Re: Is there any plan to split ffmpeg into ffmpeg(without patent issue) and ffmeeg-freeworld?

To have FFmpeg in Fedora, I would just built the library from
stripped
source with a special suffix SONAME and using alternatives with a low
number for the pc files. Then with the same revision of the unstripped
sources, the standard version only with libavcodec. (along with a
tweaked library using the same SONAME). That way, codec that was not
available in the package built with the fedora FFmpeg version will
become available.

Debian ffmpeg maintainers simply disabled some codecs in
%configure instead of strip the source code as before.

But FE-legal seems much more strict than debian-legal, I wonder whether we can do it in
the same way. Another thing need to consider is how many codecs could be approved by
FE-legal, can we ship as many codecs as debian counterpart?
