[07:42] <troy_s> kwwii: In particular, note the line:
[07:43] <troy_s> kwwii: "Also, I still don't understand why Debian and Ubuntu keep distributing patent-infringing code in FreeType, while they keep MP3 and DVD playback out of their normal installs. I'm not even sure it's DFSG compliant..."
[07:43] <troy_s> kwwii: We should probably get the boys to look into this.  I believe he is spot on with his estimation and that means patent issues.
[07:44] <troy_s> kwwii: http://www.osnews.com/thread?251651
[13:18] <kwwii> troy_s: those patents are not being actively enforced (and expire in a year) so it is apparently not a problem (and debian still has it turned on, btw.)
[15:55] <troy_s> kwwii: Good news.
[20:32] <thorwil> nand_: hi! should i send banners for brainstorm announcement to you or to henrik?
