I believe Apple has the same deal.

How much would one have to charge each user to release a library for Linux that covers the H.264 fee?

IIRC H.264 decode + AAC decode is less than $2. Linux users still wouldn't pay it, though. Fluendo charges significantly more, but they also have pretty low volume.

Also, every ATI or NVIDIA graphics card should already have a licensed decoder in it.

20 cents per user at most.

Flash already covers this, doesn't it?
