But why are we advertising a commercial company? I understand that it is illegal from the US POV to link non-us users directly to third party repos containing codecs. Instead of this, the page contains only: "If you are in a location where these patents do not apply, you may have other options as well." And users have to find out by themselves what these options are ;) So why don't we just do the same with US users? Something like: "If you are in a location where these patents apply (eg. US), there are companies that provide legal software to play such formats" would be enough, I think. regards, -- jarek -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
