Note that, historically, suse has prohibited 'real' p2p in their
distro on very, very specious legal grounds. (Basically fear that it
is per se illegal even though this isn't true in the US, much less
elsewhere.) I assume (but have no specific information) that this is
just a variant of that.

As is pointed out by upstream for Monsoon, Novell have disallowed
DHT
implementation from the openSUSE repos based on a legal risk as assessed by
openSUSE Legal. The precise nature of the problem is unclear from the
initial mail but Alan McGovern says he will provide information to
interested parties, as such I would like some input from Fedora Legal if the
problem applies to Fedora as well.
