The automatic download. The Codenia case was cited as a precedent. But
I am not sure that would apply here.
There are also games that download nonfree assests in Fedora. (These
are typically assests with a no commercial use restriction.)
(I mean firefox *now* already offers the ability to find/install
non-free plugins, no?)
I am not sure what the exact mechanism for installing the codec will be. I
can't see blocking a manually instigated install of OpenH264. maybe we
would tweak an automated install, depending on how it worked.
