Either because they've the legal right to include the codec, or the
program is illegal.

Serious, why do people expect free software to have either paid for you
to have the rights to use something, or to break the law??!!  MP3, etc,
are encumbered, and require either the software creator or the end-user
to pay for the privilege to use it.  If you want to grizzle at someone
about this, grizzle at those that developed MP3.
