Well what would it take to get mad to be included?
MAD is in fact already being used. To add support for MP3 in kdemultimedia the package you install is "kdemultimedia3-mad". The question is why doesn't Suse include this package in the CD instead of having to install it through YOU. I guess it's because the MP3 format has some patents (I don't know how many), at least in the USA. So if we want Suse to include MP3 support, we need to fight software patents in USA and all around the world even if we don't live there.
Yes. I do want to excuse that Novell employees will not be able to take part much of this discussion for now. The reason is that we currently try to find out how we can solve this really important problem. However, as usual when the law is involved, you better speak about nothing without your lawyer. But I want to assure you that take this problem serious. bye adrian -- Adrian Schroeter SuSE AG, Maxfeldstr. 5, 90409 Nuernberg, Germany email: adrian@suse.de
