Gonk has the libstagefright libraries which expect to be able to dynamically load shared libraries provided by the carrier or phone maker which contain the decoders. They are expected to have all the relevant licenses.
In the case of desktop Mozilla could take the same approach (use system libraries, expect OS supplier to provide licensed decoders) but some platforms would miss out on support if the OS supplier doesn't provide the decoders.
- dave1010uk 14y agoSo the difference is Mozilla expect current phone vendors to always provide these licenses but the desktop vendors not to? Isn't the whole point of Firefox OS to disrupt the current lack of openness in mobile? Do Mozilla not hope the mobile industry will become as open as the desktop one?
