Medibuntu (Multimedia,Entertainment &DistractionsIn Ubuntu)[1] was a community-maintained repository ofDebianpackages that could not be included in theUbuntu distribution for legal reasons.
Reasons for non-inclusion include copyright, license or patent restrictions, or geographical variations in legislation, such as:
Many free and non-free software applications are affected by such restrictions somewhere in the world, thus preventing their inclusion into Ubuntu. Medibuntu packaged and distributed those applications. Downloading, using, distributing or otherwise dealing with software from Medibuntu was possibly illegal depending on the user's jurisdiction or region. Examples of software in Medibuntu wereAcrobat Reader, non-free codecs,Google Earth, andRealPlayer.
As of October 2013, the Medibuntu Project has come to an end. The Medibuntu repository is unmaintained and offline.[2]
