*Could* be contributory infringement. An important distinction -- I don't
think we admit any such thing, but are rather erroring on the side of
caution.

Even if it wasn't contributory infringement, Fedora isn't about building
a great OS using whatever software happens to work, Fedora is about
building a great OS with free and open source software.  Making it
easier to install non-FOSS sofware is contrary to that goal.

its not about non-FOSS software but about FOSS software that can't be shipped due to patents.
