WTF?
Certain libraries trigger license or patent issues in some countries,
and so Fedora won't package them. As a result, they must compile
Blender without a critical feature.
mplayer without jack support and blender without
ffmpeg support.
I hope they fixed both in Fedora 11.
Don't bet on it.
Do all the distros have this policy?
No. Several distributions have a more relaxed policy. Hunt around.
Some distribution communities also provide a secondary repository for
restricted formats or libraries.
