This would probably stand a better chance of making it into Ubuntu if the 'illegal in some jurisdictions' stuff like deCSS was separated out from the merely 'closed source but free beer' things like real player. Then we would also avoid the scary 'you may not be allowed to install this' warnings. The patent encumbered stuff could be installed with a separate installer or from a separate menu in Easy Ubuntu, making the difference clearer. -- HenrikOmma
