Re: ms-sys in rpmfusion?

ms-sys is a Linux program for writing boot records, including

My question is: is the ms-sys package eligible for rpmfusion?
I don't think so. The hexdumps contained in there are not redistributable at
all. RPM Fusion ships only what can be legally redistributed, at least by
RPM Fusion itself.
IMHO, you should rather try to get
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ms-sys-free/ into Fedora instead.
