not a good move imho.

there are associated costs on **distributing** realplayer with Windows
media support.. sorry, I won't comment on legal issues.. that's a topic
for lawyers.. ;-)

That's right. And it's the only reason. Just because real says it's free,
doesn't mean it has no costs. Just none you pay to real.

Thanx for this clear and short explanation

This discussion had many blabla!

Why there wasn't given this explanation in one short answer instead of
supposes in the other thread trees?

Everyone is scared to talk about legal things I guess. But I don't know
how to handle such things in the future either.

Dropping packages (from distro and from DVD) is our daily business. RealPlayer
might be different - but I have no idea in what way.

Greetings, Stephan
