This subject has been discussed to death I would think.

Fedora has said that they are not, can not, and why, provide these codecs.

You *really, really need* these codecs? Then make the effort to find
them. Then steal them. Then make the effort to install them.

The only way that you are going to get someone to *hand* them to you,
legally, is if you hand them *money* first. That is called paying a
license to use. Or? You steal them. That is called stealing.

You buy? You're legal. You steal? You're a thief. Seems like a simple
enough concept to me.

I really get tired of seeing this same thing hashed over and over.
