The automatic download. The Codenia case was cited as a precedent. But 
I am not sure that would apply here.

There are also games that download nonfree assests in Fedora. (These 
are typically assests with a no commercial use restriction.)

I am not sure what the exact mechanism for installing the codec will be. I 
can't see blocking a manually instigated install of OpenH264. maybe we 
would tweak an automated install, depending on how it worked.
