Fedora will never ship patent-encumbered codecs. H.264 support will be added
when all the patents expire, i.e. in one or two decades. Fedora 17 will NOT
support H.264. Patent-encumbered codecs are evil and it is time to embrace
Free codecs. Everyone who cares about the web supports Free codecs. Even
YouTube has adopted WebM.
