Just ignore that issue. We should satisfy the majority's needs, and
the majority of Fedora users (obviously) needs DVD playback (as well
as other patents/crypto stuff). If that guy(s) stops contributing -
that's not a problem at all. We easily find someone who will
contribute instead.

That unnamed guy(s) should complain to his(their) government rather
than trying to complicate our lives.
