Aside from GPL > issues none come to mind. Do you have more specific info? As I said I am not a 'Fedora person' nor am I an attorney. I am just a long time user, but as I also said before - you should ask them. Why me? Several of them have explained this here many times. Or maybe if you would read this? This, the answers to your question, might have taken 10 seconds to find BTW. http://tinyurl.com/2gvu5m Same URL but this will surely line wrap. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/FAQ#head-b04c931c017de3facba9c69207925234df3c2232 These are the logical reasons that these types of things are not included in Fedora.
