[jira] [Commented] (LEGAL-535) Producing binary artifacts including FFMpeg libraries

["Roman Shaposhnik (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LEGAL-535?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17217899#comment-17217899 ] 

Roman Shaposhnik commented on LEGAL-535:
----------------------------------------

| Is it correct to say that this cannot be safely done with the project itself directly building and distributing FFMpeg as part of its own image?

Correct.

> Apache Guacamole provides an optional "guacenc" utility that can be used to translate Guacamole screen recordings (raw dumps of the Guacamole protocol) into normal video files leveraging FFMpeg. While we provide convenience binaries for the rest of the stack, particularly [Docker images|https://hub.docker.com/u/guacamole], we do not currently provide a binary for guacenc. Users that wish to use the tool _must_ build it from source.
> A Docker image including guacenc has recently been requested (see GUACAMOLE-1155), however it is unclear whether the project can safely produce and distribute such an image given the potential for FFMpeg to leverage patented algorithms:

> Is this something we can do?
