Les, 

I hate to bring logic to a troll fight, but lets try to be objective
here.

If the problem is truly:

* Fedora does not provide non-free, legally encumbered applications out
of the box

Then, there is nothing that we can do to resolve this which does not:

* Compromise Fedora's position on only including Free Software
* Break US law (and yes, this includes not committing contributory
infringement)

These are the facts. Now, if you think you have a constructive
suggestion on how to solve the problem I stated above which doesn't
compromise Fedora's Free Software only position or break US law, speak
now. Otherwise, please drop this point.
