ubuntu-au Digest, Vol 50, Issue 6

[AndrewG]

Hi Colin,

   I don't know about what the Australian community thinks of this.
   I would tread very carefully when installing codecs like 'Mint'
does, is a 'grey' legal area from my research.
   One of the reasons that Ubuntu sells "fluendo" at their store.

   What does everybody else think ?
