Dear all, I have just had a rather embarrassing situation arise over the announcement of proprietary codecs being for sale. We have just submitted an article (which we do monthly) to a local newsletter published by the Computer Society of Zimbabwe, and along with our article bragging about the Ubuntu promise of always being free, they also published a link to this article:
http://www.itwire.com/content/view/20762/1090/ which claims that Ubuntu has become commercial and is no longer free based on this codec issue. I have so far been unable to find out for sure, whether or not the free download of codecs is still available? I would assume so, but can anyone confirm this before I start complaining to the people who mass-mailed that link? I would appreciate it if anyone can shed any light on what is actually happening and what the implications are. Urgent feedback would be appreciated so that I can jump on the Computer Society of Zimbabwe and ask them to retract that publicly if necessary. Regards, Neil
