I was just wondering how the deal that Linspire entered into with Microsoft is going to affect it's projected plans to open up CNR to other distro's like Ubuntu. Does this bode well for future users who wish to legally procure restricted codecs that play for instance wmv's? Or will it be another cause for open source purists to claim betrayal.
Just a thought. Personally, I'm just glad I can simply point my repo to a cnr site and get all the codecs I need, since Philippine laws specifically disallow software patents anyway.
