Not official
This is not a official list by Fedora. Listing a package here does not mean Fedora Project dislikes the software in any way. Typically any free and open source software without legal issues is welcome in Fedora. It is upto individuals to decide whether to use them or not

Fedora distributes thousands of packages in the repository for convenience of Fedora users. However, a few of the packages have been seen as offensive by some and would like to be avoided. To aid the process a list a list can be seen. These could be added to an exclude option in yum.conf
