If we are going to do this it should be amply documented on the wiki why
we can now take this step after spending so much time saying it would be
a legal risk for Fedora. Just to avoid confusion and additional FUD. We
definitely should try to avoid repeating the Mono inclusion
communication problem, we get enough bad press as it is.

That being said, any legal way to improve the multimedia experience I am
sure would be welcomed by our users and I would definitely be in favor
of exploring this solution in full.
