Sorry, this slipped under my radar for awhile.

I have asked Fedora Legal for confirmation whether or not this package is
acceptable for inclusion in Fedora proper:
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/legal/2013-January/002054.html

As for the free vs. nonfree issue, as Rex and Goran point out, the policy says
"free for Open Source Software (as defined by the Fedora Licensing Guidelines)
which the Fedora project cannot ship due to other reasons", which fits
winetricks' situation perfectly.

While I don't entirely disagree with the reasoning of the people who believe
this should go into nonfree, I believe they need to seek a change in the
policy, and this review request is not really the appropriate forum for such
discussions.  (I don't even know what the appropriate forum for that would be,
RPMFusion doesn't seem to have a Board or a FESCo to take matters like this
to...)
