including the code?

We cannot wait for being sued to prove it. Like Microsoft has learned recently, that's a quite a lengthy and costly affair.

There is no US based distribution that includes MP3 playback out of box. Canonical which is the commercial/legal entity behind Ubuntu is established (atleast technically) in Isle of Man which is a tax haven and does not have the same laws nor do they operate in the same environment or have the same goals.
