not other (4th party?) things.
One problem that may appear is for example for codec's.
An example:
1. An MP3 codec will not be part of the core components of MeeGo (not
open-source, licensing...) (correct?).
2. All commercial devices out there will have an MP3 codec pre-installed, even
though MP3 is not a required MeeGo package.
3. The compliancy-requirement thus requires a software developer that needs MP3
functionality to licence an MP3 codec, even though it is already on all target
systems?
This is a huge cost for a small ISV...
applications tend to want "audio playback" capability , not Mp3 specific.
if it's for media that comes with the app, the app is better off using
ogg anyway
