In my oppinion, if a package cannot be supplied because of patent
issues, it should not be supplied at all. Let someone else do it.
Otherwise,it is very difficult for a person that is not using RedHat for a long time
to be able to set up audio-video applications. A lot of pieces of code come from different places.
Fedora uses Livna to supply parts of what cannot be given "officially".

This is one of the main reasons distributions, such as Ubuntu, became so popular (it is so much easier ....)
