Don't forget that not only licences need to be considered. Other ("legal")
issues can block packages too (e.g. patents and other weirdness).

yes, but this is not something we can do much about :-(

the page

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Build_Service_application_blacklist

quoted by juergen is nearly perfect,

I work on a new page here:

http://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Accepted_licences

if somebody could add the flag "work" in progress, I don't know hpwto
do :-(

bug) it exists

So it seems that openSUSE's perception of at least one license differs
from fedora's.
