Medibuntu.org - Free Ubuntu Software

Medibuntu, which stands for “Multimedia, Entertainment & Distractions In Ubuntu,” is a packaging product that distributes software that can’t be included in the regular Ubuntu package. Ubuntu is an open source operating system built around Linux, and is generally designed to be something that can be distributed in any country. Because freedom of speech, patent, copyright, license, or other laws vary in different countries, these laws can often preclude the inclusion of a certain software in the Ubuntu package. Medibuntu.com provides packages of software that was not included in Ubuntu for these types of reasons, and distributes them with professional quality packaging that integrates easily with Ubuntu.

"Medibuntu is a packaging project dedicated to distributing software that cannot be included in Ubuntu for various reasons, related to geographical variations in legislation regarding intellectual property, security and other issues"

Ubuntu users can add a lot to their operating system by downloading additional software from Medibuntu.com. As long as the particular software is legal in their country, they should have no problems.
