Fedora Core is built from free and open source software. For legal and
philosophical reasons the base Fedora Core installation does not include
software that is patent encumbered, non-free or otherwise proprietary.
However third party repositories do supply such software (including
mplayer, xine, and mpeg players) which will run on Fedora Core. See
http://stanton-finley.net/fedora_core_4_installation_notes.html for
instructions about installing some of this additional software.
