[Bug 1] Legal barriers and possible solutions

[Gergely Máté]

Lot of legal problems occures related with media codecs.

Please see this for ideas and brainstorming:

In a nutshell, we would need a patent royalty broker (or other solution)
to be able to legally serve media-codec libraries - in some - highly
computerized - jurisdiction, at least.

It is essential to empower our users, it is essential to do that
legally, and it is essential to do that in a way that keeps them also in
a legal path.

A possible solution would be a service to let the users pay for patent
royalties they want (or need, in a business environment) use.
