There is no proprietary codecs or non-free codecs in Omega. Some of them are potentially patent encumbered (only if you are in a region that considers software patents as valid) but nothing proprietary. Like I already mentioned, this is rebranded only because it includes third party software packages. The point is that it is not entirely different distribution. It is 100% compatible with Fedora.
understand.
This is a quote from a article and not the announcement. The announcement is at

ok, sorry I thought was your announcement.
Like all the different spins, this is just a matter of convenience. Many of the Fedora users go to a third party repository like Livna to get additional software. This live cd reduces that hassle and makes things easier. Also for people who are relying on media (CD/DVD) instead of Internet connection for software, this live cd is more useful.
uhm, I understand...but you didn't convince me ;-)
