I wonder how other distributions solve that situation.
- Foxboron 8y agoDistributing them as repackaged binaries would be against the terms. I'm unsure what distros ignores the terms and packages them anyway. It is a clear liability for any larger distributions at least.
- blfr 8y agoBy being popular enough to have providers package the software for them. For example, Chrome is available from a repo maintained by Google itself. https://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/ https://www.google.com/linuxrepositories/ OTOH, you're basically giving Google root access to your machine.
- Hello71 8y agoEither ignore them (Ubuntu) or they just don't. For many years Debian and Fedora didn't have MP3 decoder installed by default.
