Maybe I'm being too conservative here, but I have a personal interest in keeping Linux free and unencumbered even in the US which, I cannot deny, has a patent system that is screwed up.So I had one of the people who does all the license and patent audits for Fedora packages look at the Philips patent on RC-6. He's 100% positive that the patent *only* covers hardware, there should be no problem whatsoever writing a software decoder for RC-6.
That's good! Cheers, Mauro.
