The reasoning is VideoLAN is a French organization and libdvdcss is<br>
legal in France.<br>
Seehttp://<a href="http://www.videolan.org/legal.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">www.videolan.org/leg<wbr>al.html</a><br>
<br>
Starting from that point, the first question to answer to be able to<br>
distribute libdvdcss in RPM Fusion is which laws do apply to RPM Fusion.<br>
As all (?) of the servers are hosted in France, I believe the French law<br>
applies and thus it should be safe. But indeed, that is just what I<br>
understand from RPM Fusion infrastructure and I might be wrong.<br>
<br>
Second question is, do the people that run the RPM Fusion infra and thus<br>
might be considered liable for the distributed content accept the<br>
potential legal risk, which is pretty low if French laws apply, but is<br>
still non-null. Also, just like I'm unsure where the servers are<br>
located, I'm unsure of the Infra head count and names.<br>
<br>
I'll reach out to VideoLAN as soon as we have answers to the above<br>
questions.<br>
Also, once the above are answered, we can then talk about how the RPM<br>
Fusion contributors feel about libdvdcss, but my (biased) feeling is<br>
most of current contributors are ok . However, there have been some<br>
people that were advert to having libdvdcss in RPM Fusion in the past. I<br>
don't know who they are, what were their exact reasoning, if they are<br>
still active or not and if they've changed their mind. That's why I was<br>
calling especially for opinions against distributing libdvdcss.<br>

Nicolas, can you share your thoughts on this?<br>

Now that the summer vacations are coming to an end, hopefully more people are around and can raise their voice.<br>
Infra people, packages maintainers, mirror admins, end-users, don't be shy, let us know what you think about including libdvdcss in RPM Fusion.<br>
<br>
