Hi all,

I'm just curious regarding the licenses of the media files such as
avi/mpg/mpeg2/mp3/wmv/mov/divx/ etc..etc.

I know that mp3 definately needs licensing from fraunhoffer if anyone
wants to use/sell a product commercially. (which is why it's not
included in Fedora)

Is there any others?? I know for sure ogg is GPL.

what about the rest?
