Just out of curiosity...  As far as I know, it is not allowed to include in Fedora free software that is useless without some nonfree one (‘contrib’ in Debian lingo) — free game engines that require nonfree art is the most notable category.

Yet OpenXCOM [0] or OpenRCT2 [1] are shipped in COPR.

Or is that an ethical reason rather than legal?  If yes, is there something else that is ethical for COPR but not for Fedora?
