After looking at the FAQ and screenshots on the site it doesnt appear 
they really need to collaborate beyond using the Fedora repositories+ 
some proprietary packages on their own, add some metadata on top and 
present a good web/client interface. Why is that a problem for us? If we 
want to we can build add such (optional) metadata ourselves to the the 
repomd and present such a interface too. The CNR has also been under a 
Free software license for a while.
