This part smells a lot like having a "reason" why these other repos
exist (like what kind of content are within) which is verboten.

Can you explain a bit more what you mean by that? I am not sure I understand.


3) Another dialog which offers legal stuff / Click here for potentially illegal stuff.
4) User chooses to click on link to illegal stuff.
5) Gets redirected to Fedora wiki page with intent to get illegal stuff.

Smells of contributory infringment.

We asked Red Hat Legal and they have told us clearly what is allowed and what I have described is what is allowed AFAIK. If we need any clarification, we can go back and ask the real lawyers.


Read spot's mail again. You can't give a reason. You can say general things such as "There's some other software that we don't ship which is available here". You can't say "There's some other software that we don't ship because of .... which is available here". Including it in a very specific context like this seems to fall more into the latter, not the former, and does not appear to be allowed.
