I think it's more just that you have to go grab the console piece separately, in the same way that Ubuntu can't include the mp3 codec as part of its distribution even though you can trivially go and install it yourself for free



The mp3 patent expired last year so you can now distribute mp3 libraries freely.

Of course there's still h264, aac, etc.
