A sort of maker of things collection? Inkscape, Gimp, Audacity and Pitivi? > What about frequently needed > proprietary codecs or drivers? We don't have any proprietary codecs, the need for w32codecs package is basically gone with the more capable ffmpeg and gstreamer plugins. All the codec stuff off disc because of patent fears, nothing concrete, just a fear that Canonical would be liable from patent attacks. Although including libdvdcss is a funny one since no company will go anywhere near it, it's a criminal offense with 20 years in jail as far as I remember. DMCA is a nasty bit of work when it comes to breaking encryption. The only other things in the restricted extras which _are_ proprietary are the ms fonts and flash. I struggle to find a real reason to include either one.
