In order for Red Hat (or the "Fedora Project"; I'm not sure about legal status there) to include MP3 support in their distribution, they would have to *buy* a license from Thomson Consumer Electronics. I think it's a per-unit thing, too. How do you establish per-unit counts of a free distro? So, legally, they cannot ship MP3 support. There is nothing Red Hat can do about this. What you and I can do and/or get away with in our home is one thing. Red Hat is a big company enough company that they are a target. They cannot break the law just because they feel like it, or they'll be sued to smithereens. -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
