Restricted Formats

From openSUSE-Community

There are several formats that cannot be included on the openSUSE CDs because they're proprietary, patented formats. These pages will try to go over how to enable some of these non-free formats.

Note: Different copyright and patent laws apply differently depending on what country you are in; if you are unsure about a particular restriction or patent, you might consider applying for legal advice. This site does not offer legal advice. For more information about why some formats/codecs are restricted and why they don't ship out-of-the-box on openSUSE, read Restricted Formats.

[edit] Take me to the guide!

Here are the relevant pages for each respective openSUSE/SUSE version:
