This is true, but part of the problem is that Livna or Freshrpms (the two major candidates for this) could not be provided as some of their packages could not be linked legally in the US.

I do suppose that Fedora still would not add them even if there was a 'clean' repository[1], but that is the audience Ubuntu is aimed at.

[1] Though has anyone looked at it? To be honest I don't really care either way; I think it's good that RH is a source of pressure for OS drivers and notice that providing them hasn't hurt Intel.
