In theory only. In practice, Mandriva ships many kind of patented MPEG-4
encoders/decoders, MP3 decoders, VC-1 decoders, etc. Some discussion about
this should probably be raised there as well.. If I simply had the time :/
><i> PLF does that for
</I>><i> Mandriva. What about Ubuntu?
</I>
They ship such stuff (like ffmpeg with all decoders/encoders) in their
main repository, like Debian does. Also, their "universe" repository
(similar to Mandriva's "contrib") does not contain such limitations
either, containing stuff like x264 and mp3lame.
><i> What about Fedora?
</I>
Fedora does not have such software.
