A few months ago we ran a poll about the most important non-free Linux apps. We had over 8,000 votes in that poll and we consider the results pretty interesting. Interesting enough to push Linux's market share if a distro capitalized on them?

//The reason things like DVD and MP3 support cannot be included is that it is illegal to distribute them in the US without a license.//
There has never been a case of any imaginary "license holder" of a method of playing DVDs successfully suing any other independent method of doing that.
You legal conclusion above is extremely dubious.
Where exactly is this imaginary "right to license" the particular method of decoding CSS as used by either libdvdcss or that used by DeCSS? No company has ever asserted such a right.
