Since there is a update policy for patents (see http://wiki.ubuntu.com/PatentPolicy) and there is a similar package in universe (x264), I would like re-open this bug to include this package in universe. libxvidcore is a depend of mplayer, and it need to be in universe to allow mplayer to do the same.
As Matthew said, the software is under the GPL, so there is no reason to not allow it in universe. ** Changed in: xvidcore (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => New ** Changed in: xvidcore (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Wishlist -- xvidcore should be in universe, not multiverse https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117884 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
