This is why you get the mp3 rpms easily from non US servers. And this is why Mandrake (french) and SuSE (german) can distribute p3 capable stuff. (it being not GPL compatible left aside)
is this a fedora list? seems to be a lot of off topic stuff here. I subscribed to this list to keep up to date on fedora stuff, not general linux stuff. Maybe you folks should subscribe to your local linux user group list...
