Unfortunately, because Red Hat IS a USA-based company, they (and all

will be no repercussions for such aforementioned inclusion scenarios
to be applied. This is why Fedora has such a bad rep (I am not saying
it is a bad distro, I use it for everything!) with uninformed people
(people making the choice of using Linux for the first time). Though I
think CodecBuddy NEEDS support for reading through repositories to
find codecs because there ARE Free codecs not in the Fedora DVD by
default and should be able to be detected and installed.
Maybe web2.0 is the solution :) . What if we have a way to query a list
of repos that is stored on a central site that can be appended to by
anyone? Then we might be able to disclaim responsibility for pointing it
out.

It's not where the repo sits, its where Red Hat is based out of.
