i know that we in lebanon don't have to worry about these useless greedy
patents. i was actually more worried that the release of such codecs on
sale will mean their removal from medibuntu. if canonical is truly only
interested in the *buntu experience of it's users, and want to provide a
solution for those afraid of legalities, then it's a nice idea. but if
they ever start thinking in terms of $$, they might close medibuntu, and
that would, i guess, bring them a step closer to our friends in redmond.
