Fedora issue.
Among the mainstream distributions, Fedora is unique in that, it
doesn't have a official non-free repository or repo for patent
encumbered code. Although RPM Fusion is as close as it gets, it should
be noted that RPM Fusion is a third party repository with a different
infrastructure. Fedora simply does not care about proprietary kernel
modules or any third party kernel module for that matter. If Fedora
does, the kernel maintainers, add it as a patch rather than leave it as
a kernel module package. This means, if you run a third party repo,
support for it within Fedora is limited.
