    There’s room for both the principled take and the practicality. We have both FOSS distros and those that ship patent encumbered stuff and proprietary driver.

      And VideoLAN has been pricipled for nearly 15 years. I’d like to see them stay that way.

        VLC has been distributed with libdvdcss and patent incumbered codecs for ages.

        Beware: VLC media player binaries are distributed with the libdvdcss library included.

        I don’t see this as at all different tbh
