As is pointed out by upstream for Monsoon, Novell have disallowed DHT implementation from the openSUSE repos based on a legal risk as assessed by openSUSE Legal. The precise nature of the problem is unclear from the initial mail but Alan McGovern says he will provide information to interested parties, as such I would like some input from Fedora Legal if the problem applies to Fedora as well.
