-

recognizing users require functionality of packages can not distributed ubuntu due licensing incompatibilities, ubuntu-restricted-extras package provided install of these common packages together.

illegal install package play mp3 & on?
why applications in vlc support mp3 default?

wikipedia:
in september 1998, fraunhofer institute sent letter several developers of mp3 software stating license required "distribute and/or sell decoders and/or encoders". letter claimed unlicensed products "infringe patent rights of fraunhofer , thomson. make, sell and/or distribute products using [mpeg layer-3] standard , our patents, need obtain license under these patents us." various mp3-related patents expire on dates ranging 2007 2017 in u.s. mp3 license revenues generated?100 million fraunhofer society in 2005.

no..it not illegal. remembering ubuntu free , open source os, these packages affected patents , license restrictions in countries. in mind, ubuntu not able include them in default installation can got after it's installed , used. sources protected. that's means.
