Are you even trying to understand what I'm talking about? Patents are being 
actively enforced against users of the Linux kernel, not the ffmpeg project, 
and some people still spread lies about the oppposite being true, and thereby 
decreasing the overall impression and quality of free software.

False.

http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=ffmpeg
http://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/ffmpeg/

(These are the distros I use.)

«Google has lost a Texas lawsuit that claims the core of Linux infringes on a 
privately held patent, raising fears of similar claims against other users of 
the open source operating system.»

Please stop stop trying to ruin desktop Linux with this retarded hypocrisy. We 
finally have native support for a majority of multimedia formats and codecs, 
and then you come with this retarded legal FUD and pull it out again.
