It has never been permissible to included prebuilt files of this nature in
Fedora [1], and FPC unequivocally stated during today's meeting that they have
no interest in making an exception for this.

Please remove this prohibited content from your packages, or ensure that any
included .swf files are built from source using a free software toolchain like
`swfc` during the %build phase.  A list of affected packages sorted by owner is
included below, and I'll be filing bugs for these soon.

orion ckeditor

Thanks. Turns out ckeditor also had a raw .fla file. I don't know if any package would have a .fla without a .swf, but it might be worth checking for.
