Its non-free. And, This is not "firmware" and "content", This is "code". case example: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=892925 Seggests: 1. Remove non-free code and rebuild. 2. Replace to Fedora-free (Fedora acceptable licensed code) files. 3. Remove Fedora repos. Thanks.

Blocking FE-Legal, This is license problem.
Dear Mejiko, thanks for the report, I have removed those files from the sources (some of them have been already removed by the upstream in the meanwhile) and built http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=4869842. Thanks, Milos
