Hi Christian,

no the reasons is not the cost:

They simply didn't ask for permission, it seems. If that's true, it's
not a good move imho.

Regards,
Alberto

Hello,

could we know why RealPlayer was dropped from openSUSE? Are there legal
reasons behind this, or it is just an arbitrary decision to reduce the
number of packages?

Would have to pay to distribute newer versions of RealPlayer, that is,
of course, a no go.
