I think the webpage at http://rpm.livna.org   explains the situation
quite succinctly, in the very first sentence. If you need a more detailed
analysis of why totem and other packages were considered problematic
for fedora.us to continue to house, you will probably only be
satisfied with an essay directly from someone in Red Hat's legal
department...which i would not hold my breathe for.  It's best to
think of livna as effectively the non-US or freeworld extention of
fedora.us.
