Here is the purpose of the application is important. A browser is not
only intended for free and proprietary
formats downloader. It serves other purposes as well.
But gNaughty serves only purpose is "download porn". If we allow this
package, in other words it says Fedora tolerates proprietary formats.
It is not something we are comfortable with.
It is not Fedora's place to police *usage* of apps, only whether the app
or package has a compliant license and follows the defined packaging &
legal rules. If the tool were directly containing support for decoding
such prorietry formats that would be a different matter, because the
codecs would not pass the legal rules.
