Yes, I know. The question was: do they have those patented software
within the same repo as all the other software or do they have an
extra repo for that.

In reply to andre999 I wanted to point out that there are other
distributions who make a difference between patented software and
everything else. Some do not distribute them at all (Mandriva,
Fedora), some have them in an extra repository (Ubuntu).
