I am wondering if the following video processing libs could be included in Fedora itself ? nes_ntsc sms_ntsc snes_ntsc These "perform NTSC video signal processing on an image, giving a result similar to that of the game console connected to a TV and unlike that of a simple palette-based image". To do this it would appear to need to understand the hardware chips used in such consoles, but I find no mention of patented or so techniques. For eg: nes_ntsc, in it's current incarnation, require or BR only Fedora packages. An out of Fedora game console emulator could use this library to add 80's realizm to the Emu. The author has released under the LGPL v2.1 or later. Would it be acceptable to be in Fedora ?
