I understand that, and I understand that I can't expect fedora to have mp3 decoder on their hosted servers but I thought you have freedom of speech, no? Weren't there some court cases that said that you can write anything? Is it illegal to put this on the fedora wiki: "rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-9.rpm"; or it I leave that line out is this illegal: "yum install -y gstreamer-plugins-ugly gstreamer-plugins-bad" Why?
