In addition, we will work with Cisco to put the OpenH264 project on a sound footing and to ensure that it is governed well. These modules will be usable by downstream distributions of Firefox, as well as by any other project. We are grateful for CiscoРІР‚в„ўs contribution, and we will add support for CiscoРІР‚в„ўs OpenH.264 binary modules to Firefox soon.

This move enables any open source project to incorporate CiscoРІР‚в„ўs H.264 module without paying MPEG LA license fees. Cisco has announced today that they are going to release a gratis, high quality, open source H.264 implementation - along with gratis binary modules compiled from that source and hosted by Cisco for download. The most popular codec, H.264, is patent-encumbered and licensed by MPEG LA, under terms that prevent distributing it with open source products including Firefox.

This is reposted below:Р”Р„s I noted last year, one of the biggest challenges to open source software has been the patent status of video codecs. I would like to thank the Workstation Working group and Cisco for sorting out the agreements for this to be possible.EditorРІР‚в„ўs Note: Brendan Eich, Mozilla CTO, posted on his blog about Mozilla and the recent Cisco announcement about H.264. right now we only have the fedora 24 repo up, we will be aiming to finalise the process and get Rawhide and Fedora 23 rpms and repos up this week also. The repodata for this repo and the rpms are signed with the fedora key. Verifying : gstreamer1-plugin-openh264-1.6.7hl 2/3 Installing : gstreamer1-plugin-openh264-1.6.7hl 3/3

The download of the rpms then comes from Cisco. In order to meet this requirement we have blocked downloading the built rpms from koji, and put up a site hosting the repodata. One of the main conditions is that you have to download the binary rpms from Cisco directly.

Cisco has made available a patent grant for the codec, you can find out more about it at the openh264 project. Lately we have been working with the Workstation Working Group to setup the ability to build and make available a legal h.264 codec for fedora.
