+<PRE>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&#176;) 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&#176; panorama
