Those people could release a German version that includes it. Say in a German-only repository on german servers (and mirrors outside of red hat's control). It wouldn't be much different from Livna now. Which is an argument in favor of keeping the codecs in such an outside repository as-is. However, I am still of the opinion that non-us people shouldn't be misled to buy things that they're fully entitled to from free and available software, just because of the main location of Fedora's main contributor (Red Hat). Which is why I think the Codec Buddy feature suggesting non-free software should be removed. Americans illegally installing livna rpms is not Red Hat's problem. Europeans mistakingly paying for non-free software is an issue for the Fedora Community.
