The comment on the change is:
(1) Fix syntax; (2) *PLEASE* use "refer to" and not "see." We have
visually impaired users too.

Fedora cannot include support for MP3 or DVD video playback or recording. The MP3
formats are patented, and the patent holders have not provided the necessary licenses.
DVD video formats are patented and equipped with an encryption scheme. The patent holders
have not provided the necessary licenses, and the code needed to decrypt CSS-encrypted
discs may violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, a copyright law of the United
States. Fedora also excludes other multimedia software due to patent, copyright, or
license restrictions, including Adobe's Flash Player and Real Media's Real Player.
For more on this subject, please refer to

- While other MP3 options may be available for Fedora, Fluendo now offers an MP3 plugin
for GStreamer that has the related patents licensed for end users. This plugin will
enable MP3 support in applications that use the GStreamer framework as a backend. We are
still unable to distribute this plugin in Fedora for licensing reasons, but this plugin
offers a new solution for an old problem. For more information, see
[:Multimedia/fluendo-mp3: Installing Fluendo MP3 Plug-in] or [:Multimedia/Codeina:
Installing MP3 Plug-in with Codeina] page.
