Do we really care about patents enough? Can't we just include the standard libtxc_dxtn? Even if we care - I heard that S2TC may be encumbered as well.
The only thing we can care about is the license. If it's free software or we have permission to distribute it, I don't see any problem here. If we would accept software patents as valid we would not be able to ship any package.

If software patents is not a real issue, i propose to: - Add libtxc_dxtn to [extra] - Add libtxc_dxtn as optdepend of {ati,nouveau,intel}-dri packages Regards, Laurent carlier
