These packages are now GPL and available from Debian main repo, *BSD ports, 
OpenSuSE, and Slack, so maybe there used to be issues with non-relocatable 
non-PIC assembler code, patents that expired/lapsed, VideoLan, or alternative 
commercial licensing, for example no commercial use restrictions?
Many codecs like these can be installed on Fedora, etc. from RPMfusion repos.
