Off shore Respins of F8

Since F8 is put together in the USA, Red Hat is legally obligated to not include licensed "multi-media codecs".

However, in some jurisdictions, this illegality disappears. Therefore, if some enterprising individules living in one of those jurisdictions could make two respins based on the Nov 8th release DVDs, we in North America would be most appreciative.  (One DVD for 32bit, the other for 64bit).

UBUNTU, being produced in Africa, is a distribution using the supposedly illegal respins. UBUNTU asks if you wish to break the law of your country by installing those codecs for you, and does so, assuming you reply yes to the question.
       
Precedence has been set.  Go for it Fedora.
