[Tfug] Linux & intellectual property

I recently installed,
     Fedora-Live-Worksatation-i686-21-5.iso on a friend's
desktop computer. Installing packages went ok until
I tried to install xine-ui. I wasn't allowed to use it
essentially because it has algorithms that infringe on
somebody's patents.
     Have  people seen this on other distros like Debian
or Ubuntu . etc.?
