Old news. We already had a thread (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=18512&highlight=european+patents) about this, too. But thanks for warning us.

Yup, many others have put up similar warning pages. Mplayer has one.

Yeah we have talked about this before, but that's an old thread, nothing wrong with a new one :)
