maccam94i take it we've already learned from that article that was on digg a while back?02:02

maccam94the original site is temporarily offline for some reason02:14
maccam94we should also keep in mind that we aren't marketing this release as an upgrade. marketing materials shouldn't just be about what's _new_, they should be about ubuntu overall02:17
Flanneland included in that, to some extent, is what Linux is.02:19
maccam94Flannel: indeed02:19
maccam94btw, my comments are in reference to the upcoming Hardy release02:19

mrechi, anyone awake?14:02
mrecI wonder about the legal issues with ubuntu, eg. royalty fees for mpeg and dolby?14:02
cody-somervilleHello mrec 14:02
mrecI'm concerned about that when making binary packages for ubuntu actually 14:03
mrecsourcecode is available too14:03
mrechi cody14:03
cody-somervilleUbuntu only ships Open Source Software, ie. Free Software.14:03
mrecI've been told that Dolby charges on a per app basis14:03
mrecMPEG charges a package fee, buy one time use it as often as you want14:04
mrecwell Dolby support is included in ffmpeg ..14:04
mrecso the question is how does ubuntu deal with that?14:05
mrecI just don't want to get sued otherwise I wouldn't care14:05
mrecubuntu also ships binary only drivers (eg. ati as far as I know)14:07
mrecalthough that's not the topic, since I only have free opensource software..14:08
cody-somervilleUbuntu doesn't provide that software14:10
cody-somervilleYou can either purchase it yourself or you can download it (which may or may be illegal in your country).14:11
cody-somervilleFor more information, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats14:12
cody-somervilleFor further support with Ubuntu, please see the #ubuntu IRC channel. :)14:12
mreccody-somerville: ok thanks14:25
mrecI hoped there would have been a better way14:25
cody-somervillemrec, There is codec buddy14:26
