Mageia won't be installed only in France; those patents still apply in
other countries so not all patent restrictions can be dropped.
And going that way you will have to drop each software that will break a law
in a country ...

Hi,
+1
When I install a linux distro (Ubuntu - OpenSuse - Mandriva), my first
reflex is to install all the "non-free" packages because I can not use
the full functionnality of my PC (watching protected DVD, proprietary
drivers like nvidia / ati / wireless ... etc. ...)
Is it possible to build a Mageia distro with all necessary package for
easy use without all this patents problem and specifically for each
country some specials web pages ?
In these web pages : the list of non-free packages to replace by free
packages ...
(for example).
Patent restrictions are completely against ease of use and enjoying user
experience.
