Legality of Linux Mint codecs (was linux mint)

[Barry Williams]

Linux mint are able to offer there distro with pattern infringing
codecs by hosting there site in europe (I believe) where those
patterns are not enforced. In Australia I believe those patterns are
enforced so using mint is possibly illegal as is installing the non
fluendo codecs in ubuntu.
For your infomation only what you do with it is up to you
