Debian is a not for profit organisation run by volunteers where as Ubuntu is a Canonical, a for-profit company, sponsored project. It is attractive for patent holders to file cases against entities where they can get some money. I think Novell and Mandriva pay license fees for the codecs to include them, Red Hat and Ubuntu chose not to ship them. -- പ്രവീണ് അരിമ്പ്രത്തൊടിയില് <GPLv2> I know my rights; I want my phone call! <DRM> What use is a phone call, if you are unable to speak?
