Codecs are a legal grey area that many distros are choosing to include out of convenience since there has not been a problem before. Since Fedora is associated with Red Hat/IBM which have a lot of money and are bigger targets for lawsuits, they are choosing to play it safe by not officially supporting many codecs. It is the same with openSUSE.
