I really doubt there could be legal implications to pointing to an ftp
site. Even if they prefer people go to the webpage there has been
enough cases now about linking to pretty much settle that issue.
But has anyone at RH tried asking for permission? Including preset repo
lines for livna is right out, both legally and morally for the mission
of Fedora. But what about the idea of a legal but non-free catagory for
Flash, Acrobat, Nvidia, ATI, etc?
what makes you think NVidia and ATI are legal?
