IANAL, but I believe the same reasons that prevent inclusion of CDRtools into Fedora prevent it from inclusion into RPMFusion. The program is breaking free software licenses (CDDL linking GPL and the two are incompatible by design of CDDL), which makes redistribution (in binary form) impossible. -- Susi Lehtola Fedora Project Contributor jussileht...@fedoraproject.org
