I'm of the opinion that Telerik has the right to license their software as they see fit, including making it not available for packaging in Chocolatey, and legal precedent makes it much more dubious whether or not the existence of an accessible URL makes it legally OK for Chocolatey to package it than I think most people here are acknowledging.
That said, the commenter I replied to also called out Mozilla, and as far as I'm aware, the software of theirs that folks package is FOSS
Chocolately never distributed Fiddler packages. This is just a basic misunderstanding of how Chocolately works.
But in practice, I'm aware of how Chocolatey works, and figured I could get away with pointing out that the US legal system has previously considered access of remote systems to be a crime even in cases of publicly exposed endpoints without having to do a longwinded explanation of the role of Chocolatey vs the end user running Chocolatey's provided scripts.
Those drivers are not open source, and did not allow for distribution. So Linux distributions included scripts to download from the public sources (provided by Broadcom), and run the install. The only software "distributed" by the OS provider, was a simple download script (probably less than a couple dozen lines).
If you are Ok with that, then note that that is what Chocolately does. I linked to the actual source code of the Chocolately package in another comment if you want to see what it does.
