If they were really serious about their efforts to set a foot into the world of free software, they'd make plugins (which don't even have to be GPL'ed, mind you!) available to play Realmedia content using GStreamer. I've even offered to write those plugins for them, for free (see the GNOME d-d-l archives)! The whole GNOME and KDE desktop would suddenly play realmedia files. But as we all know, it's really just a joke. They don't care about the free software world. They need users to get funding for their paid content. Very disappointing. Ronald -- Ronald S.
