[Fedora-legal-list] Concern about the Clementine music player application

Hello,

I have some concerns about the Clementine music player application as 
packaged in Fedora. The concerns involve the Spotify integration feature.

The application uses Spotify's trademarks and their copyrighted logo and 
suggests that the user pull in a proprietary application called "Spotify 
Core" to use the feature. This effectively makes the feature a stub that 
pulls in proprietary software.

I'm wondering if any of this is in violation of any Fedora packaging 
guidelines for the issues I've raised.

Thank you.
