I would not be so sure about this:

Fedora Legacy

"Fedora Legacy" refers to package fixes submitted for old versions of core
 packages or old releases of Fedora Core by people on an adhoc basis.

Packages in Fedora Legacy are controlled by their respective package
maintainers and are subject to the acceptable use policies of the project.
Packages in Fedora Legacy can be maintained by anyone who agrees to the
project's policies and procedures. The steering committee can be asked
to provide guidance, but has no power to remove legacy packages or material
within legacy packages. However, legal issues or not following project
guidelines may cause packages to lose their "Fedora Legacy" status.

Packages in Fedora Legacy must be built entirely from software meeting the
open source guidelines and must be signed with the package's key rather than
the Fedora key. RHN will not carry Fedora Legacy content.

Red Hat will provide CVS repositories, ftp and minimal web services, and
possibly other facilities needed by the Fedora Legacy packages.
