The problem isn't its freeness, but rather it is a DMCA violation to
provide it in the US. RPMFusion has US based mirrors, so including it would
be a problem for them.
So did Livna but that didn't exactly stop them. The problem is that including
it loses RPM Fusion some free promotion and so they've chosen to tell users
to get the rpm from somewhere else if they need it (for example, Livna still
has it).
