And you can't buy LinDVD... Which is the subject of the posts in the

I'm aware of that. I have been to their offices to talk with them
about a licensing deal. That doesn't change the fact though that
theirs is a licensed DVD product on Linux. I know of others as well,
but none are sold to end users. It is unfortunate, but that's the way
it is.<br>
