I believe that is incorrect. (At least gstreamer stuff is not found in the
nonfree repository.)

The free repository is for free code that is not included in Fedora for some
reason, including not being usable in some locations because of say software
patents or because that kind of package is prohibitted by policy, such as kmods.

The nonfree repository is for nonfree code. Typically this is stuff with
no commercial use restrictions. Though there could be other reasons, I really
haven't looked at this repository much except for some games.
