    I am not a lawyer, so this is only a comment not an answer: AFAIK these tools are not included, because their license does not allow the redistribution. If you download them yourself (installing them later), you should be fine. When in doubt, check the websites of the developers for infos about license and usage rights.

  • Tnx for the answer. But downloading something illegal is the problem, so how legal they are? It is pretty impossible for me to find the developers of those plugins - can u suggest any links?

  • That's the nice thing about the official Ubuntu repositorys. The software you find there should be compliant with the Ubuntu licence policy. See: ubuntu.com/licensing
