Either the implementation is free (and unencumbered) and can be included 
in fedora... or it isn't.

not allow what exactly?  The ability to automatically download/install 
this?  If so, I think a citation is needed...  While distasteful, 
offhand I can't think of or find any policy disallowing it.

(I mean firefox *now* already offers the ability to find/install 
non-free plugins, no?)
