I'm not sure about Fedora but Debian has a very strict policy for the packages in their repos. http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ http://www.debian.org/d

  As I understand it, Fedora's packaging policy is more or less the same as Debian's. Free software only (stricter than Ubuntu), though there are some practical differences. They don't like packaging emulators that are primarily useful for non-Free ROMs. It is also my understanding, different than Debian, they don't like packaging software that no longer has a maintaining developer. Also no external kernel modules, no prebuilt libraries, etc. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Legal http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Guidelines#Legal
