The single SWF file in the frepple package is redistributed from
"fusioncharts free":
      http://www.fusioncharts.com/goodies/fusioncharts-free/product-licensing/
This is also recognized in the "authors" file of the frepple package, which
lists all third party components that redistributed.

In this context, I plead "unguilty"... I don't see this redistributed SWF as
inappropriate or prohibited.

In any case, the SWF will be replaced with an HTML5 alternative in the next
upstream release.

Regards,

Johan

Subject: Bundled Flash

It's come to my attention that a number of packages contain Flash (.swf)
files, but absolutely none of them have BuildRequires on a free software
Flash toolchain, nor do any of them seem to be shipping the source for these
files.
:-(

It has never been permissible to included prebuilt files of this nature in
Fedora [1], and FPC unequivocally stated during today's meeting that they
have no interest in making an exception for this.

Please remove this prohibited content from your packages, or ensure that any
included .swf files are built from source using a free software toolchain
like `swfc` during the %build phase.  A list of affected packages sorted by
owner is included below, and I'll be filing bugs for these soon.
