Could someone clarify this...

[Kevin Mark <kevin.mark@verizon.net>]

Hi,
I was just reading an interview[0] of someone from the 'Freetype' project
and he said:
...
Also, I still don't understand why Debian and Ubuntu keep distributing
patent-infringing code in FreeType, while they keep MP3 and DVD playback
out of their normal installs. I'm not even sure it's DFSG compliant... 
...
Cheers,
K
