He can't be sure, but the fact that gstreamer is not specifically tied to a set of multimedia codecs means that if a codec is encumbered by patents, that specific codec will not bring the house down.

People can use encumbered codecs and the like with pitivi, but they are not limited to them and can avoid them if they want to.

As for someone holding patents on interfaces and the like, that is a different matter.
