It is not in the official archive.
You can get them from
deb ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main
deb-src ftp://ftp.nerim.net/debian-marillat/ unstable main
(add it to your sources.list)
They get all of them from the MPlayer homepage. I can't really answer the question about it being legal or not - one would have to look for each codec, read its license etc
But as a general rule distribution and using of codec which are for decoding stuff is not really restricted (the vendors are interested in having as much people as possible using their codecs) - encoding is what you have to pay for (as it was the case with mp3 originally).
