First off, how does this relate to the topic at hand about Ubuntu's 
theme? Considering the fact that this is the art list and that's what 
Laith was talking about when he started this mailing list thread. The 
things I mentioned in regards to inspiration stems from what Ubuntu is 
doing with their theming.

Second off, from what I remember from screenshots of Codec Buddy, it 
first gives a message about supporting FOSS codecs like those in the 
.OGG container. Then it offers a way to legally pay for the codec use, 
if that's your thing. As a third option that isn't listed officially, 
but is suggest on the Fedora forum as well as in the official IRC room, 
is the livna repo which is a quality repo and I use regularly.
