+Mandriva was a commercial company with ambitions to sell it's products
+commercial all over the world, that's a completely different situation to
+Mageia.

+</I>
+Like I suggested earlier, during install there can be an option to
+include/exclude well known problematic packages.
+
+And yes, end users will ALWAYS be responsible for what they install/use,
+regardless what Mageia includes in the default install, Mageia (or anyone
+else) cannot take that responsibility away from the user.
+Besides that I have never heard of a private person being sued for using
+unlicensed patented codecs, not even in the US and most US Linux users
+install them anyway from plf (or similar repos of other distros).
+
+Regardless of that no company/school/university will just do a default
+install (regardless if we include plf packages), they will always have to
+do their own custom selection based on their on internal regulations
+anyway (in addition to local laws).
