RPM Fusion provides packages for all Fedora releases that are

supported by Fedora project, which includes the development branch

"rawhide".

 

We have two separate repository lines:

 

* "free" for Open Source Software (as defined by the Fedora Licensing

Guidelines) which the Fedora project cannot ship

* "nonfree" for redistributable software that is not Open Source

Software (as defined by the Fedora Licensing Guidelines); this

includes software with publicly available source-code that has "no

commercial use"-like restrictions

RPM Fusion is a project started by the Dribble, Freshrpms and Livna

teams. It aims to bring together many packagers from various 3rd party

repositories and build a single add-on repository for Fedora and Red

Hat Enterprise Linux. We hope to attract new Fedora packagers and hope

that other 3rd party repositories will join us.
