Danger Will, mixing terms.

They have "non-free" as in not open source in different repos, but "non-free" 
as in "against US law" while it is still opensource may not be in a different 
repo.  That said, even if the non-free stuff is in a different repo, they 
still maintain that repo and can coordinate the deps across and such.  Fedora 
by nature makes it so that the non-free stuff has to exist outside the Fedora 
umbrella where we have no control over the repo and no good integration.
