The command line installation instructions for the patent-encumbered
Z-Push and notes about RPMFusion don't seem to me to be much of an

the package is not part of Fedora due to patent restrictions, and
notes that RPMFusion is located on servers in Europe; the language
implies that Z-Push may not be patent-encumbered in at least some
parts of Europe: "Z-Push is not available in Fedora, because Exchange
ActiveSync is patented by Microsoft in several regions including the
United States. Software which is legally encumbered, cannot be
included in Fedora, because it conflicts with our foundations. But
Z-Push is available in RPM Fusion, a third party repository legally
located in Europe."
Thanks for looking at it.

Does the small issue of contributory infringement not apply here ?
