That's the problem indeed.

Ubuntu is a community only driven project - no company to sue, but Novell is a
big company with money to take.. (and well, I guess there are quite a few
companies which would like to sue Novell).

However they could try to get some sort of legal contract with the Frauenhofer
Institut (cause most people doesn't care about the legal problems - they want
to hear their music..), or at least an agreement that allows them to ship the
codecs. (Who's taking this idea to novell? Someone on the list who's working
in Nürnberg? :) )

Read this to get a better idea of the complexity, from somebody "in the know":

And notice that the legal problems do not come only from the "other" side.
