1. Introduction
    1.1. Project/Component Working Name:
	 Integrate libdvdnav into Solaris
    1.2. Name of Document Author/Supplier:
	 Author:  Zachary Kissel
    1.3  Date of This Document:
	27 March, 2008
4. Technical Description
Proposal:

        Integrate libdvdnav into Solaris

Details:

	libdvdnav provides a simple foundation for reading the navigation 
	information off of a video DVD. Specifically libdvdnav allows one 
	to easily use:

		1. DVD Menus
		2. Multiangle Playback
		3. Interactive DVD games

	The API provides DVD playback as a single logical stream of blocks, 
	intermitted by special dvdnav events to report certain conditions.

	libdvdnav used to be part of both the Oogle project and part of a 
	plugin for the Xine media player. However, the library now stands 
	on its own. The libdvdnav library is written and maintained by:
		
		Daniel Caujolle-Bert <segfault@club-internet.fr>
    	Thomas Vander Stichele <thomas@apestaart.org>
    	Rich Wareham <richwareham@users.sourceforge.net>
    	Kees Cook <kees@outflux.net>
    	Michael Roitzsch <mroi@users.sourceforge.net>
    	Frantisek Dvorak <valtri@users.sourceforge.net>
    	James Courtier-Dutton <James@superbug.co.uk>

	The current version of libdvdnav is 0.1.10 (Released: June 9, 2004). 
	Sun will provide packages that install on both x86/x64 and SPARC 
	architectures.

Exported Interfaces:

        SUNWlibdvdnav          				Uncommitted	package name
	/usr/lib/libdvdread.so					Uncommitted	library

	/usr/include/dvdnav/nav_read.h			Uncommitted	header file
	/usr/include/dvdnav/nav_types.h			Uncommitted	header file
	libdvdnav C APIs						Uncommitted	API

Doc Impact:
    New man page: libdvdnav.3LIB (see case directory).  This is a new man
	page since the open source community does not provide one.
	It provides basic information about the library, and points users to the
	project's homepage. 

Security Impact:

	None.

In speaking with the GStreamer developers, they indicated that libdvdnav
most likely contains IP which requires license to distribute.  Is this
the case?

Has this gone through legal review to determine whether there are patent
issues?

	Is there a corresponding dvd player expected?  It seems odd to have
	just a library without an application or browser plugin.

Did anyone notice that the code itself hasn't been touched since 2004? 
The dev list looked pretty dead too. If its good stuff to have it 
doesn't need to be updated all the time but I think it begs the question 
if we're adding in morbid code....though maybe not an ARC concern.

Yes. The Ogle player is planned for implementation as part of Indiana by 
Dermot McCluskey.  He doesn't currently have a target integration, but 
supports our integration of this now.

	I didn't have a problem with doing the library now, I just wondered
	if we were expecting to also ship a player, or there was some
	other connection that the library was coming by it self.

The Ogle player is licensed under the GPL.  This means that you cannot
link any any non-free code.  Since DVD's (even unencrypted ones) are
encoded in MPEG2 formats, you cannot distribute Ogle with MPEG2 support
even if you have a license to distribute MPEG2.  The Ogle player would
require a GPL exception to allow distributing it with support for MPEG2
codecs.

Is your plan to only support unencrypted DVD's that are encoded in free
video/audio media formats, such as theora?  I don't think any such DVD's
exist, unless you make them yourself.  It seems we should be integrating
a DVD player that can be distributed without violating GPL.

Further, I notice in your OSR (8050) that you didn't highlight any
patent issues in the Engineering section, question #9.  Isn't it fairly
well known that DVD technologies are heavily encumbered.  I would
think we should be highlighting that a careful look at patents is
required in a case like this.  No?

(I've changed this to psarc-members@ for now, as this really needs to be 
discussed internally.)

I am a bit uncomfortable that the OSR process actually covers patent 
checks?  I believe that OSR normally covers *licensing* issues, but I'd 
really like to see an affirmation from one of the legal team who 
reviewed this that, yes, patent considerations were taken under 
advisement and we believe this software to be free from patent 
encumberance (or that some sort of "known risk" decision was made by an 
appropriate VP).

I see this problem, the confusion of OSR and patent issues, come up from 
time to time -- it came up in my SDcard case as a matter of fact.  I 
know that I had potential patent issues which needed to be resolved by 
legal, and yet I was not required to get an OSR, as the actual source 
code is not distribution license encumbered.

As an aside, on this particular case, I share concerns already about the 
usefulness of libdvdnav without an accompanying useful player -- I'd 
rather have seen both the player and the library integrated together, 
along with any considerations required as far as licensing goes.  
(libdvdnav could then start live with "Private" or "Volatile" binding, 
or even just be linked statically rather than dynamically.)

I'm pretty sure DVD playback is in fact patent encumbered.  IIRC it 
seems the case that to play encrypted DVDs (which are the vast majority 
of them) one needs to have a fully featured region-aware player, which 
seems to require a license from the DVD industry association.  For 
unencrypted dvds, I think totem which already ships with gnome is 
probably sufficient -- though since I've not got any such DVDs I haven't 
actually verified this.

That's libdvdplay and libdvdcss, not libdvdnav.
libdvdnav is used for navigating dvd menus.

Also, in most modern systems the dvd drive itself enforces the region,
none of these libraries help you get around it.

It's not.  Totem can play video files located on a dvd media,
but that's very different from playing an unencrypted dvd.

	Beyond notifying OSR which at least in ON is part of the integration
	process, why is this architecutral?  Indeed it is an important thing
	for every Sun citizen to point out to mgmt and legal, but beyond
	that what's to be said of the proposed architecture?  The EVPs and
	Lawyers get paid the $$$$$$ to keep Sun's butt out of trouble.  Once
	disclosed to them, IMO, the ARCs job is to see how this fits with
	the Solaris architecture.  Perhaps someone will soon clairfy what
	the Solaris architecture actually is since mgmt seems to transmogrify
	it continually.  This has been my primary question since Harpster
	started the controvsery/dialogue/converasation a couple years ago
	and bailed without converging on answers any of the issues.

Totem from blastwave can play unencrypted DVD's directly.
The Totem we ship couldn't play any media at all last time I tried it 
(some builds back). I assumed it was built wrongly and/or with no access 
to any codecs.

Oh, my comments (at least the patent/OSR concerns) are clearly not 
"architectural", but just as a concerned citizen.

My concerns/thoughts that shipping this without a functional player 
(i.e. a consumer), however, are architectural.

Funny, totem has never worked for me either.  I figured the same -- 
missing codecs, without which it is junkware.

I would still prefer to see this library as a "private API" delivered 
with a consumer (i.e. a functional player) -- unless, is there some 
rational reason for this functionality to exist without such a player?  
(I suspect enabling blastwave-compiled applications isn't much of a goal 
here since blastwave already ships their own libdvdnav?)

I didn't investigate further at the time.

I'm not sure that that is 100% true; only a few vendors that I am aware of 
ship drives which refuse to return encrypted data; others just return the 
encrypted data (note, though, that the majority of slimline drives are 
made by a single manufacturer which enforces this restriction)

There are at least two completely separate issues here that I think
you're blurring together.  If it were true that GPL Ogle couldn't use
a "non-free" library, then it couldn't use the non-GPL libc on S10,
nor could any other GPL code.  I've never seen GPL interpreted that
way, and it doesn't sound quite right.

The _separate_ issue is the patent one.  GPL requires you to include
grants for any patents required to use the software, or GPL just
immolates itself in a fit of pique.  If there are such restrictions
that apply to the navigation menus (really?), then that's a real
problem for this project.  (And probably the upstream author as well.)

In any event, neither issue is really architectural.  These are things
for the project teams to discuss with their lawyers, and make sure
they're doing the Right Things.

An architectural issue would be:

	So what's the deal with libdvdnav and libdvdnav2, and which
	variant are you really shipping?

That's a matter between the project team and their lawyers.  It
certainly should _NOT_ be discussed on an open list like this.  Please
stop here.
