The lawyers at Red Hat have become concerned about a set of game patents which, apparently, are being actively enforced. These patents cover "A game where 'targets' move across the screen to a predetermined point or line, where the player hits a button/key/mouse click as the target(s) crosses that point or line, and gets points." What that means is that games of the "Guitar Hero" or "Dance Dance Revolution" genre (pydance, for example) cannot be part of the Fedora distribution.
