Can we get an official fedora position on OpenH264?

If Fedora is not going to implement (or remove) the ability for Firefox
the ability to download the OpenH264 binary from Cisco, this might affect
the decision to have H.264 as a mandatory to implement codec for WebRTC.
It has been suggested that it might help Fedora to comment on the project's
position on the WebRTC's mailing list, particularly as it is looking more
likely for H.264 to be mandatory now that Cisco is going to provide a
binary implementation free of cost when downloaded directly from Cisco.

Several people have stated that Fedora will not allow this, but it would
be nice to know the official situation and to comment on that to the
working group.

The thread discussing this is:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-November/191153.html

The vote on this is coming up this week, so we don't have much time 
to comment.
