I think those, along with vivox and Kakadu are all pieces.

Quicktime support is no problem, as it checks against an installed
Quicktime on the system.
The fonts can be easily exchanged by ones under a more open license
like Creative Commons. This already has been done in some 3rd party
viewers, and they look excellent. I personally suggest to push for
that change in the official client as well..it will save some hassle
overall.

Distribution with FMOD...well. This is interesting. By its licence the
fmod.dll can -not- be distributed with 3rd party viewers, else we get
another GPL violation. OpenAL is no problem tho.

Art assets..I don't know. Maybe, with the exception of the SL logo, a
push to get those under the Creative Commons could be achieved.
