Need I remind you that we already have libdvdcss code in our free repo?
If you want to go down that level: Need I remind you that the last
official decision is to not have libdvdcss in RPM Fusion:
http://rpmfusion.org/SteeringCommittee ;-)
Anyway: Correct me if I'm wrong, but if I understood you correctly the
it's just source-code that is not going to get compiled? That at least
here in Germany is not a problem afaik, as long as the resulting binary
can't circumvent copy protection. But to protect contributors that might
feel unsafe due to that I'd vote for removing that part from the sources
(just like we sometimes remove code for decoding mp3s in Fedora).
