perhaps this sort of thing should be considered being placed in the non-free repos, rather than the standard ones

Now WTF?

Zitat:

RealNetworks will build the Windows Media support into its proprietary RealPlayer for Linux software, the company said. The support will not be in the open-source Helix Community project it launched to bring some RealNetworks technology to Linux.

Is that your take on the matter?
