RHEL sometimes includes some additional non free 3rd party software
customers require (notably Java) bundled with them. Fedora itself is
free software (not neccesarily GPL). Third parties selling mp3 stuff or
shipping free mp3 stuff to countries where it doesn't hit patent issues
are simply outside Fedora itself, just like any other third party suppied
software
This was regaurding a free, but for noncommercial use, player that has a
license for the MP3 patents. That means it's not GPL, because of the
non-commercial uses clause.
So are opensource, free ($$), apps out of the question. My understandang
is the GPL on MySQL libs (not LGLP), is keeping MySQL at an old version
too. That make some sense, since I can see people creating commercial
app that use tyhe MySQL libs. But a media player? It doesn't seam to be
the kind of thing that would be tried. It's would clearly be a derivitive.
