Some of the codec dependencies are from non-free libraries with closed source code. While other players utilize separate libraries and you can package them for download without crossing this precarious line, usually VLC has it's own bundled codec libraries.

The same one Redhat / Fedora don't like at all, and which SUSE is

But what are these? I've never heard anything concrete, which makes it
extremely hard to try to get something done. It would be nice if we knew why
they don't want to ship VLC, both so we can try to resolve it, and so we also
know what to do to avoid them suddenly deciding that they can't ship some
software we write.
