Hello,
I've only heard about COPR recently, so I'm not terribly familiar with it. Are kmod or DKMS packages prohibited from COPR as in Fedora, or are they allowed? I don't think I saw this explicitly answered anywhere, but it's possible I just missed it.

In short - yes you can as long: * the license is one of https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Licensing:Main?rd=Licensing#Good_Licenses * there are not patented technology included (eg. mp3 etc.)

Yes, I did see that. The reason why I still wasn't sure is because of bullet point (e) in that section ("violates any rules or guidelines of the Fedora Project"), and kmod packages I believe do violate the guidelines of the Fedora project.
Of course, now I'm cleared up on the topic now and I thank you for your response, but I just wanted to explain why this wasn't immediately 100% clear to me.
