I just want to notice that "-nonfree" expects at least the package to be redistributable.

I don't expect dribble have such packages. But amr{nb,wb} codecs are ( altought opensource - we even cannot retristribute the sources). For such cases i guess it would be desirable to have nosrc.rpm in the SRPMS non-free section.

Also all packages that can go to Fedora shouldn't be allowed in RPM Fusion.
