You're being extremely pedantic. Let's back up.

Sure, it can. Will anyone package and ship it in Fedora that way? No. Besides the 
enormous effort to strip out the patented code the handful of codecs that would 
remain wouldn't make it useful. Disabling the codecs at build time is not enough if 
we want to be pedantic.

I think you missed my point. I was not saying "package the Fedora version into 
RPMFusion" -- I was saying take your (xpra.org) packages and ship them in RPMFusion.
