What patented stuff are in Linux Mint?

[coolblue]

I just downloaded Mint Fluxbox as I have a low-end system.

Can anyone here give me a COMPLETE list of ALL the patented things that are
included in Mint (which are illegal in some countries)? I want to know this so that
I can remove them if I wish to do so, as I feel its against ethics.

I could have downloaded Mint Light edition but I have a low-end system so I needed Fluxbox.
And I also wanted to see how good Mint is. I had tried the Main edition once but it was VERY slow
on my hardware so I wanna see how this Fluxbox edition goes...

Thanks for your help and thanks for Linux Mint

With warm regards....

I think it is just audio and video formats, mp3, DivX, wmv etc. I am sure someone could give you a complete list though...

I don't think anyone is going to whip up such a list for you. If you're ethically opposed to using your computer for basic things for which it was intended, then simply use the "Light" variant.

Only Main edition is comes in light, Fluxbox does not... If you do not want to break any flawed patent laws, do not download it. I think the only thing that is illegal is to distribute it bundled with the distro, you can easily after install most of the patented components free of charge...
