upnp and patents

[Tanguy Eric]

Hi, this soft make what i hate : integrate another project. Mediatomb
integrate in the tarball a quite old version of libupnp (1.6.1) which is
BSD license (http://pupnp.sourceforge.net/). Fedora have libupnp 1.6.2
in stable and 1.6.3 is pending. 
I hope this package will not interfere with fedora libupnp. 
There is also libdlna (http://libdlna.geexbox.org/) which is an
extension of libupnp. Libdlna is patent encumbred because it uses ffmpeg
and is now part of livna.

In conclusion, Mediatomb uses pupnp software which is patent free but it
duplicates software ...

Regards
