+There s no license for win32-codecs. So unless someone can prove they
+are public domain, they are still under the copyright of their owner,
+and cannot be distributed. That's warez.
+
+And if they would be distributable, that would go to non-free for 2
+reasons :
+- there is no sources -> non-free
+- there is no actively enforced patents problem, as copyright holders
+would either 1) have their own patent on the codec ( microsoft )
+2) have paid for others patents usages ( likely the only way ) since a
+long time
