Why exactly is this still an issue? Since Fedora is not a Red Hat product, only a Red Hat sponsered project, these copyright issues shouldn't concern them anymore.
It isn't a copyright issue, it is a patent infringement issue, and anyone that distributes infringing software can be sued. This means Red Hat (as the primary distributor) as well as all the Red Hat mirrors could be sued for distributing unlicensed MP3 software if MP3 software was included in the distribution.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
