Due to legal constraints that would not be a really goo dthing to do:
VLC IS licensed under the GPL and thus would allow an inclusion...
BUT: it would just be an additional useless player added, as we can't provide
the codecs which are a requirement anyhow.
The VideoLAN project takes care of maintaining a repository (with latest vlc
and also vlc git snapshots, named vlc-beta)
Using the 'community repositories' it's already as simple as possible to add
VLC repo without knowing about the different URLs. Repo for 11.2 is also
already available.
(Also be aware that if it would be inclused in the distro, after a release only
security fixes would be applied, no version updates).
For all the reasons outlined I set this ticket to 'wontfix'.
