Bug 81 depends on bug 37 to be relevent or not. However, bug 37 *has not* got a final resolution (afaik no one in the dev group has agreed to teh bugs resolution and enacted it). Patents are applicable in the USA, Japan, Australia and a bunch of other countries. Not all contries. If its illegal where you are to install/mirror mp3 codecs, don't do it. That doesn't mean it has to come out of the main (well, universe) repository. Of course, its all IMO kk -- Karl Goetz User of gNewSense: Free as in Freedom - http://www.gnewsense.org Australian Ubuntu users team - http://wiki.ubuntu.com/AustralianTeam User of Debian, The Universal Operating System - http://www.debian.org
