Rahul Sundaram <sundaram(a)fedoraproject.org>:
How do you add propose that we add support for mp3 formats in Fedora
without abandoning the rights for derivative distributions to make
modifications and redistribute all the code included in Fedora?
See my suggestion about a dedicated yum repository with a button in
Fedora that says "Push this to download MP3 support". Users of Fedora
and all derivatives could use such a mechanism.
Again
its not merely proprietary but also shackled by patents. Are you happy
with just adding support for mp3 or would WMA support follow up on that
next?
Since you mention it, yes. If we can support what users want to do, we should.
