[10:49] <Riddell> I approved libvpx for webm video codec yesterday but I read an article this morning about it not being open source because the patent licence is only for "this implementation of VP8" anyone got an opinion? http://www.webmproject.org/license/software/

[13:06] <ogra> cjwatson, do you think its evil to wipe the image files from the scratch dir on antimony after building the actual image (i guess there is a reason we keep them around)
[13:07] <ogra> with the preinstalled images we'll build for omap the image spit out by livecd-rootfs will be around 1.5G, i dont want to waste the space permanently (we plan to bzip the image once debian-cd is done so the result is only ~500M)
[13:58] <cjwatson> ogra: up to you for this one image, but please don't purge scratch stuff in general - it's often useful for debugging
[13:59] <ogra> nah, not in general, but given the size constraints i dont want to have a 1.5G ext3 image around if i dont really need it
[14:00] <ogra> since we'll build two images (one for omap, the other for omap4) that already piles up to 3G
[14:00]  * ogra doesnt want to make elmo cry
[14:07] <cjwatson> remove it if it seems most sensible, it's not worth spending time discussing it :)
[14:09] <ogra> indeed
[14:09] <ogra> i just wanted to know if there was a pressing reason to keep them
[15:20] <ScottK> Riddell: My understanding, which may be incorrect, is that we only worry about patents that people are actively enforcing.  On that understanding, I think it's OK.
[15:21] <Riddell> ScottK: yes that's what I'm thinking too
