Just as Adrian said, currently we're not allowed to host _all_ content that is 
in Ubuntu's universe/multiverse repositories, mainly due to license and patent 
issues. That's essentially the same reason why we're not hosting rpmfusion for 
Fedora.

Until the OBS is hostet in a country where this doesn't matter we're bound to 
german law.
