In other words, Fedora's lawyers have deemed it risky (or even downright
illegal) to include in the distro .repo files that would allow users to
download, say, US-illegal codecs even if the repository itself
physically and logistically isn't connected to Fedora. But pointers in
documents can.

There we go. That's what the legal experts are saying. Do I have it
