8.5. Fedora Project's Approach to Multimedia Support
The Fedora Project encourages the use of open formats in place of
restricted ones.
Fedora includes complete support for many freely-distributable
formats. These are the Ogg media format, Vorbis audio, Theora
video, Speex audio, and FLAC audio formats. These
freely-distributable formats are not encumbered by patent or
license restrictions. They provide powerful and flexible
alternatives to more popular, restricted formats such as MP3.
