It won't.
Personally, I'd be happy if the installation offered the ability
to add
entries to yum.repos.d (a big hurdle for newbies) which was not limited
to, but did include Livna, accompanied by the expected stern warnings
about respecting your local laws.
Americans have strange ideas about their laws and the extent they cover.
Sometimes to good effect (eg corruption laws) sometimes to bad. For a US
based body to advocate that a non-US citizen exercise their legal rights if
those rights conflict with "US law" is an area that requires careful legal
thought. Remember that US "freedom of speech" is political speech - so the
right to complain about the existing US policies and fight them is protected
not the right to tell people how to violate them.
