Multimedia, AV "Fluendo is expanding its offerings with the general availability of a wide range of codecs for the GNU/Linux and Solaris desktop and server systems. The Fluendo codecs plug directly into the popular and widely used GStreamer multimedia framework available on all the major GNU/Linux and Solaris systems. Users of GNU/Linux and Solaris operating systems have previously lacked solutions which enabled them to license and use popular media formats such as Windows Media, MPEG-2 and MPEG-4 in accordance with the laws of their country. Through Fluendo's agreements with Microsoft and MPEG LA such a solution is now available."

Well, apparently it is in enough countries. The US definitely, and apparently some countries in the EU since Fluendo is a Spanish company.

AFAIK there's no law of (im)morality says companies can't fleece citizens of other countries.
