> You can't ship Fluendo's or ffmpeg's H.264 codecs in a Linux distribution in the USA or Europe without risking a patent lawsuit.
Contrary to what is continuously claimed here, there are many distributions that do ship H.264 in Europe and the USA, for example Ubuntu, Debian, Gentoo and many others. I can understand that some distros like Red Hat (and thus Fedora) refrain from doing it, but the claim that nobody does it and/or it is impossible is demonstrably false.

The standard Ubuntu distribution does not include H.264 "out of the box".
