Since there are multiple potential paths for changing the policy (keeping things ideologically pure, allowing conversion on ingestion, allowing h.264 but only for mobile, allowing h.264 for all devices, etc.), and since these issues are pretty contentious, it seems like a good candidate for an RFC which'll help determine if there's an obvious consensus path forward.
Could we host h.264 videos and related transcoders in a country that does not recognize software patents?
Fact for consideration: Currently our infrastructure is not set up/able to host originals in the Netherlands. And our storage infrastructure takes more than just one server ;)
Hints:
- I am not a lawyer
- WMF has server in Netherlands, EU.
