If you commit to paying the licenses, I'm sure we can include those codecs. Fluendo sells Windows Media, MPEG2, MPEG4, AAC, etc. at 28 euro per user, but I'm sure you can get a discount if you buy 10000 licenses at once... :-P Otherwise it will depend on who wants to take the risk to be sued. -- Jan Claeys -- ubuntu-be mailing list / mailto:ubuntu-be@lists.ubuntu.com You can find list info and your subscription configuration options at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-be
