Fedora the distribution can't build these.  I agree.

Fedora the Project can, as members have shown.  In this case the open
source software requires non-Fedora software to build.

We do distribute content that isn't built in koji.  It's all at
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/.  We can't recreate the ogg
videos hosted there either. How is this different?

Thanks,
