On second thought, the distributing rights of the artwork are not technically
"free" therefore it cannot be included in Fedora unless forked or patched with
new artwork. Even if this was accepted into RPMFusion as is, it would still
need to be included in non-free as it has non-commercial distributed artwork.
You could ask permission from the author but I would doubt he would give free
use to the artwork.

As for the codec issue, I can't confirm that it uses a MPEG codec, but I know
it endorses the use of MPEG and WMV which are not accepted codecs in Fedora due
to legal reasons. Though it has OGG support, the other codec support in
Clipgrab may cause legal issues. I would need to ask someone who is more
knowledgeable on the legal know how of these software patents to know if this
is a legal blocking issue.
