Why doesn Fedora include DVD video playback support?
The DVD video formats are covered by patents, and the patent owners have not released the technologies under licenses which are compatible with Fedora’s requirements. Many DVD videos also use a copy protection technology, and the code necessary to play those videos may violate the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), a copyright law of the United States. Fedora only supports and includes free and open source software. Technologies under stringent copyright or patent restrictions are not included in Fedora.
