The biggest issue here is that 'Addons' that don't fit

or Extras profile mainly fall into two categories:

- can't ship because of patent and other legal rules
The latter of those *cannot* be branded as Fedora(tm), and the
former really is a very small case.
Which makes me wonder about the tradeoffs between strictly applying
free/OSS rules to all Fedora branded sub-repos and providing access in
the Fedora build structure for those very small number cases of the
former as a courtesy to community. Because there certaintly are
tradeoffs.
