“The H reported that Canonical director of business development
Chris Kenyon said it has licenses to redistribute other open- and
closed-source software, too. ‘Like Adobe Flash, Adobe Acrobat,
Fluendo, RealPlayer, DVD players and other proprietary software, we
have a direct re-distribution agreement for H.264,’ Kenyon
said.“That doesn’t mean, though, that all PCs with Ubuntu
pre-installed are covered by Canonical’s H.264 license. ‘The vendor
may have opted not to include it’, Kenyon said, as the PC maker
decides what additional software and codecs they want included on
the machine.”
