Firstly, most of these packages are packages that Fedora/Redhat refuses to include in either main stream or extra because of possible patent/legal issue ( which I completely understand). Secondly, most of the patches applied are either in their respective cvs/svn or have been submitted for consideration for inclusion into the next new release. I find most of these packages useful and again, I completely understand Fedora/Redhat's stand on these. I merely provided the link for anyone else who may find them useful regardless of any political or individualistic view about these software. PS: Some of these packages are in Extra but have had bits are pieces removed, again, due to possible patent issue.
If there are legal issues with these packages, this discussion doesnt really belong in the Fedora development list because we cant use these patches anyway. Some users not affected might be interested. That should go into fedora-list however.
