    > Même problème que le mp3, pourquoi ne pas faciliter la tâche à l'utilisateur pour l'installation de ces codecs? avec un raccourci ou une boîte de dialogue lui expliquant tout, car de toute manière soit il ira chercher plus loin pour les installer ou alors il laissera tomber la distrib.

    C'est interdit. Où alors il ne faut proposer que des offres légales (donc sûrement payantes).

    Dans le dernier Red Hat Magazine, ils sont très claires :
    http://www.redhat.com/magazine/004feb05/departments/ask_shadowman/(...)
    Morten from Norway asks:

    Does Red Hat have an "official" site with RPMs for:
    - DVD decoding - xine, mplayer
    - MP3 encoding/decoding - xmms in fedora, RHEL does not have mp3 support.

    Shadowman replies:

    Absolutely, Morten! In this great land of innovation and freedom... (sorry? Come again? Not licensed to open source developers? Oh, I can't, can I? Is that so? Well, you just watch ol' Shadowman.)

    In honor of Presidents' Day, Shadowman would like to declare a general software amnesty! From this day forward, devotees of open source software may now find these RPMs... (sorry? What's that? Lawyers, you say? In the lobby? Hm. No, I don't want to go to any prison!)

    Official implies legal, Morten, and while Shadowman would love to tell you where and how to get those excellent RPMs, there's no such thing as an "official Red Hat RPM" for something that isn't legal in the United States. See, there's this little thing called "contributory infringement" that prevents Shadowman from saying the first thing about how one might get this kind of software. Really. Honestly. So sorry. Please drive through.

    And on that note, may Shadowman wish a happy Presidents' Day to everyone. Let freedom ring ( http://eff.org/(...) , http://www.gnu.org/(...) , http://www.softwarefreedom.org/(...) ).
