RE: RedHat, Fedora, and the Future of Life as We Know it

If you have to, why not just buy a license from Fhg, or whoever owns
mp3. Mp3 plugins are very easy to get, in a legal way for some of us
too. Freshrpms has lame and xmms-mp3 and all the mp3 playing stuff you
want. It will take 10 minutes of your time. Or you could buy a
distributors license, and make your own Fedora isos with mp3 included.
There is a business opportunity. I think you will discover, like Redhat
did, that not too many people want to pay for Linux just yet. So making
people pay is out of the question. Maybe people should petition Fhg to
make available a decoder available for people to play mp3s, which could
be licensed favourably, like a perpetual license for it, as long as it
doesn't encode.

If I have to pay for the software then send the $0.75 to whoever its 
supposed to go like Microsoft does!

What are you guys really that stupid, or is it you think that we are?

There is a fine line between genius and lunacy, fear not, walk the
line with pride. Not all things will end up as you wanted, but you
will certainly discover things the meek and timid will miss out on.
