==== Using the RPM Fusion repository

RPM Fusion provides software that the Fedora Project does not ship. That software is provided as a lpf RPM for all current Fedora versions.

It means that you need to explicitely allow the spotify license before the lpf framework will download and re-package automatically the software.
|
||||
This is needed because the spotify doesnt't allow the client to be distributed elsewhere than from spotify.com.

|

|
