Summary: The patents have expired! Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: medium Priority: low Component: freetype AssignedTo: behdad@fedoraproject.org ReportedBy: alejandronova@gmail.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: behdad@fedoraproject.org, kevin@tigcc.ticalc.org, fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org Classification: Fedora
According to http://bugs.ghostscript.com/show_bug.cgi?id=690621 , we can safely enable the bytecode interpreter in Fedora and all the code covered by those patents. They have expired since May, 2010.
Legal, is this safe? Can we make a quick import of the RPM Fusion package into Fedora?

--- Comment #1 from Behdad Esfahbod behdad@fedoraproject.org 2010-07-08 01:44:44 EDT --- They expired in October 2009 in fact.
We enabled them, but had to disable since it caused regression with autohinting stuff. There's a bug filed about it with lots of history, can't find it right now.
