Hello,

I want to ask if PlayOnLinux could be packaged to Fedora. This program
has list of proprietary programs which are not downloaded but could be
installed if you give it setup.exe file.

Also it downloads Windows redistributable when user explicitly wants to
install program (which using this redist) or given redistributable. 

If this is not "legal" in terms of Fedora how it's differ from
OpenSource software which are using not-OpenSource addons? Example of
this could be https://marketplace.firefox.com .

Thank you for answers
