I am trying to get streaming video to work on install of fully up to date Ubuntu 9.10.

For example: http://cbc.ca/video

I am guessing that the packages/codecs necessary cannot be distributed with Linux due to license issues.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

You need to install flash player for videos like that:

sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

If you want to install Java and some codecs and all those other goodies:

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

I've outlined what's included in the package here.
