You may want to try the legal list, but sure...

This ticket is related I think:

IMHO, you could build minitube in copr as long as it doesn't have any
hard dependencies on rpmfusion or other 3rd party packages.

No. IMHO this is not acceptable in copr. The reason Fedora doesn't
enable them all is patents. I have no idea (nor do I want to) know
which patents over what, but the ones we can enable have been carefully
checked by legal. The others are not acceptable.
