Anyone can add repo's to yum now in /etc/yum.repos.d. A lot of

this to add missing codecs from alternate repositories to play things like

be party to providing links to sites that may have legal entanglements
themselves. They leave that up to the users of yum. How would a tool like
this be any different ?
Because you won't find links to these repositories on anything included
in Fedora, nor on any website hosted by Red Hat. We obviously can't
stop people from using these, nor would we want to. However legally we
can't point to them. Nor could we provide a tool that has pre-existing
knowledge of these repositories, nor provide metata that knows about
these repositories.
