** Please describe why this package is not eligible for Fedora ?**
Its a proprietary driver and software package.

** Is this software redistributable ?**
I haven't found a licence for it.

Its already supported on ubuntu and the AUR. Most likely the company themselves need someone reputable to reach out to them and explain how to get it packaged for Debian and Fedora. The fact they even produced a Linux package shows they have interest in supporting Linux but not the resources to package for every distribution.

** Is this software an alternate version of a Fedora provided package ?**
it doesn't, The alternatives like the digimend project don't fully support the features of the huion drawing tablet peripherals.

Their staff actually do respond to the support forum. If you'd like me to post there asking them to contact X person, Please let me know.

Like I said, I couldn't find any mention of licensing or redistribution anywhere.

@Desulate thanks for rising this issue.
The best way to have the driver is our repository is for someone owning the hardware interested in to work and maintain it.

The long term goal is probably to have this hardware support merged into the kernel or other FLOSS driver project.
