Here's a stab at a "what can be packaged" document:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Tibbs/WhatToPackage
This just takes the existing bits at the front of the guidelines, corrects the spelling of "permissible" (how embarrassing), does slight cleanup and adds a section indicating that other kernel packages are not permitted. Unfortunately the wiki backtraced when I created the page so somehow the page after my initial round of cleanups shows as the original and the only diff I can provide is the one that adds the section on the kernel.
Is mp3 still patent encumbered?
Does it contain a .so, ,so.#, or .so.#.#.# extension?
The second comma should be a period. Using code font for the extensions might make it more readable (or might not, I didn't try).
Otherwise LGTM.
I have no idea; I think some MP3 related things are OK and some still aren't. In any case, that is just pasted from the existing guidelines and so if this doesn't pass then we still need to remember to fix them.
For this draft I've change it to "Files in patent-encumbered media formats".
I had to leave the meeting, but +1 from me
