-ugly is only for stuff which would be in -good if it weren't for patent or 
licensing issues. -bad isn't split per license, it's code upstream considers 
unstable and which they probably didn't even bother auditing for license or 
patent issues. The problem is that it has codecs which are actually needed, 
such as Schroedinger/Dirac support. So Fedora now ships what it can ship out 
of it. Maybe upstream should be splitting -bad into -bad and -badandugly or 
something like that. ;-)
