Hi Marius (2010.09.08_14:24:24_+0200)
> Canonical must sell DVD and MP3 codec licences for Ubuntu

Fluendo has licensed an MP3 decoder for all Ubuntu users. Look at
gstreamer0.1-fluendo-mp3

However, this is South Africa, where Software Patents aren't recognised
(and thus aren't enforceable), so install all the patent-encumbered
software you want and be proud to live in a country that has some sanity
left.
