Sigh.  Too bad.

Was there any reasoning on this, now that it has a legitimate, legal
use?  Was that exemption considered too narrow or is there another
reason?  I mean, there is software in there that can be used for illegal
activities, which itself is not proscribed.

I presume that also applies to rpmfusion, then?
