Perhaps you should ask Apple to include non-patented formats in their
products. You probably won't find the Linux community interested in
supporting a new and potentially closed format that already has an open
source replacement.
BTW, your iPod may look cool but there are other devices like the
iRiver HP-120 that play far more formats than an iPod and don't put any
restrictions on how you use your own music.
