I also assume if someone decides to make his own distro based on openSUSE (or perhaps a customization of it) and it's only going to be deployed in Europe or other countries MP3 is not patented, there will be no problem to add out-of-the-box support for it.
Well, you got me interested here. Just the past couple of days I was thinking of making a smaller download of SUSE 10 by removing GNOME (I never use it) and a lot of other packages - targeting the very very basic kind of home user who only want to use a computer to do wordprocessing and browse the net and maybe listen to a few songs. Another issue are the localization packs for OOo. We here in India will use hardly nothing beyond the English (and maybe Indian localized versions - the few that are there) of OOo. So now the question is: how do I find out whether mp3 is patented in India?
