http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=licensing_policy#acceptable_licenses "The tainted section accepts software under a license that is might be free or open source and which cannot be redistributed publicly in certain areas in the world, or due to patents issues." and http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=mirrors_policy#tainted "stuff we think we can redistribute, but that may have some patent issues or other restrictions in other countries" look like consistent with each other, althought the "what belongs / is allowed here must still be discussed" indeed looks like it's not frozen yet.
