Thats confusing for other reasons "for which no legal plugins are available"... (if so how is anyone distributing them)" How about "A small number of countries permit patents on software and algorithms. This may prevent the distribution or use of some open source plugins in these countries. The GNOME project is strongly opposed to these harmful patent policies but also recognizes that it is important for users to be able to make choices. Therefore Gstreamer 0.10 permits users in these countries to install third-party non-free codecs when open source plugins are not available. The GNOME 2.14 distribution does not itself contain these non-free components." _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
