<PRE>2010/12/8 Ahmad Samir &lt;<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">ahmadsamir3891 at gmail.com</A>&gt;:
&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> For Fedora, being the most legally-challenged distro around, they
</I>&gt;<i> don't include any patented software in their official repos at all,
</I>&gt;<i> not even mp3 playback is possible in a default install. They even
</I>&gt;<i> don't include any non-free stuff, so no nVidia and ATI proprietary
</I>&gt;<i> drivers. Fedora users use some 3rd party repos, e.g. RPM Fusion
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://rpmfusion.org/">http://rpmfusion.org/</A>
</I>
Thx, so it's the same as with Mandriva wrt patented software.
What I wanted to say: distributing no patented software at all is not
the same as &quot;having no extra repository for patented software&quot;, so are
Mandriva and Fedora seen as &quot;justifying patent sharks&quot; as andre999
descibed it?
