Unfortunately it's not moral (if even legal) to advertise a license violation. Spotify does not allow the client application to be distributed elsewhere than by spotify.com, this is a well-known issue over the web. Here are the exact license terms: http://www.spotify.com/se/legal/end-user-agreement/ This commit also fixes the RPM Fusion documentation using lpf framework to workaround with particular issue. (lpf is a fedora package that show the license, download and re-package a given software). Please also spell the project as appropriate: - RPM Fusion (by default) or - rpmfusion (when space within name is not possible)

==== 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.
|
|
|
|
To install Spotify using the RPM Fusion repository:
|
|
|
|
. Add the RPM Fusion repository
