[Mageia-dev] autopano-sift-C ought to be in tainted, instead of core repository

[Philippe DIDIER]

It's in the title !
The use of the Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) algorythm 
allowing to find control points to build panorama with several pictures 
is restricted by a US patent... this algorythm is the basis of 
autopano-sift and autopano-sift-C !

hugin (a pano builder program) brings some patents problems with some of 
its  tools : this one is an optional tool, and we can use hugin without 
it... mostly since 2010.4 version of hugin which ships its own patent 
free control point generator which is quite as good as autopano ;)


the other rpm bringing patent problem is libpano13 (required by hugin) : 
two versions exist yet for mageia:
- one in core repository with a limited field of view (160°) and giving 
this limit to hugin (no patent problem though !)
- one in tainted repository  without limitation (but infringing US and 
Japan patents) allowing to build 360° panorama
