[Sugar-devel] Sugar-devel Digest, Vol 58, Issue 47

[Gonzalo Odiard]

Part of the problem is legal.
OLPC or Fedora can't distribute legally software to play mp3 without
pay royalties. But in many countries in the world, the software patents
are not applicable, then, maybe you can install the software without
problem.
In the XO-4, the payment is already done, then is a issue solved,
but not in the older models.
