I don't see what is gained by this in a *legal* sense. Anything that requires a proprietary codec requires a non-free license, whether it works via Wine or not. AFAIK Fedora could still not include it, for precisely the same reasons. And if you can use non-free codecs from Livna or whatever, as many of us undoubtedly do, then Wine is irrelevant as regards the legal position. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
