I would like to propose new package x265, which is

this package will not used by other packages than

this package.
I already prepared the package at the following
location.

I would like to withdraw this ITP because it does not
seem to align cygwin package policy. This package is
not ported for fedora due to some reasons.

These packages are now GPL and available from Debian main repo, *BSD ports,
OpenSuSE, and Slack, so maybe there used to be issues with non-relocatable
non-PIC assembler code, patents that expired/lapsed, VideoLan, or alternative
commercial licensing, for example no commercial use restrictions?
Many codecs like these can be installed on Fedora, etc. from RPMfusion repos.
