http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147315 GStreamer | gst-plugins | Ver: 0.8.2 ------- Additional Comments From gn...@ro... 2004-12-06 05:28 ------- Hi All, I'm Roalt, the original developer of the r263 library. I've written it in 1995-1996, but it seems it's still popular. My e-mail address for H-263 related is h263 (at) roalt (dot) com. I cannot remember I ever had an e-mail called aa...@hu... (maybe huygens.org) but this is already strongly outdated. The code I have written was based upon LGPL code from someone at Telenor wrote. I improved it signicantly (read:completely rewrote it) so it was useful for real-time encoding/decoding. The code is 100% GPL so feel free to use it in any (L)GPL way you like it. The software patents is another thing. But to be frank: I do not know anything about them: in the 8 years I have the code available, not a single company complained about it. It might be different if you put it in a commercial product, just like with mp3-codecs probably. I think there are now lot of improved codecs and H.263 is not used much. I don't think anyone will complain about it when you put it in GStreamer. See my homepage www.roalt.com, then click on H.263. I do not actively support the code anymore, but I'm always willing to answer some of your questions. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
