canonical to sell proprietary codecs!

[Willy K. Hamra]

i just read in slashdot
(http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/09/19/166230) that
canonical is planning to sell proprietary codecs for ubuntu users since
these are important for the user experience etc..
what about w32codecs though? it's in medibuntu and not the universe
repos, but aren't these enough? i can play all the DVDs i ever got in
kubuntu using w32codecs allright. as for songs, i usually prefer to
convert everyting to ogg using oggconvert, but i already have mp3 and rm
support. so what codecs are they planning to sell? does this affect
w32codecs in anyway?
