I for one would nevertheless would say this should go to RPM Fusion's nonfree
repo, as nonfree implies "you should check the license to make sure you are
actually allowed to use this software" (which might be the case if you are in
the US)

> License: GPLv2 with clause 8 invoked (distribution in the US is forbidden)

Sounds good, as this will make it possible to get the relevant information
using tools like repoquery without getting the software (and violating the
license)
