Could you give some examples?
AFAIK the license of Xfig isn't OSI compliant.

Any third party is welcome to do this. I don't expect Fedora to at all,
because as I said above it is counter to their goals. I would expect any
bugs causing problems with the Official ISOs AND reported to bugzilla to
be checked out and fixed to the best of the ability of the maintainers..
They
won't fix the problems because they can't (see
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88360 ).
I'd like to have fedora as easy to install as possible, so that everyone
can install it who wants.
