Why on earth would Slim give a damn if Slim server was included in mainline Linux distributions? Do you really think that the inclusion of Slim Server software is going to sell extra Squeezeboxes?
While I may not think that native OGG in the firmware is much of a priority it certainly would not hurt to have Slimserver be included in a distro.
Actually there is no reason Slim Server cannot be included in a core distribution as it is, they do not include LAME in the basic configuration, it's up to the user to install and configure LAME. If the streaming is all done by PCM/WAV or FLAC then there are no patents involved.
And, as was pointed out, you can stream your existing MP3s just fine. Finally, if you are running Linux and cannot somehow install LAME then you have other problems. ;-)
