Hi

Interesting perspective on Codeina esp considering the recent ongoing 
thread in fedora-devel list on the same topic.

"Codec Buddy certainly makes installing restricted codecs a breeze. One 
thing that it does better than Ubuntu is the reality jolt it provides 
users with regards to perceived legalities of certain codecs in some 
regions."

"Like Ubuntu's codec installer, it warns about perceived legalities in 
some regions, but Fedora backs it up by asking you to pay for some of 
the codecs via Fluendo's Web store - very classy. Not only does this 
promote using free codecs, but it adds a little reminder that OS X and 
Windows pay these fees with the OS, so how can Linux users expect this 
to be different?"
