Of course if Fedora is indeed barred from distribution on your area, you could always work with a Fedora based distribution that isn't subject to US law. However of course that would mean support would be more limited. Hopefully we'll be able to resolve this easily.

Hello; I newly joined this group. I am From Iran. I think my case is very special because I'm from an embargoed destination (Iran). Regarding these restrictions, could you tell me what kind of tasks can I do? I have some plans for Fedora in Iran. I'm waiting for your helps and comments.

Hi Mostafa,
I have actually been pondering that over the past few days - after seeing your blog post and the join notification from Joerg. It strikes me that, regardless of our personal opinions on the matter that this is a situation that honestly we need some guidance from someone qualified to tell us what we can help you do. Please note that differs rom what you do as an individual, but there may also be implications of you acting on behalf of the Fedora project. For instance, if you burn media that you download and distribute it as a Fedora Ambassador is that Fedora doing the distributing or you as an individual.
I said all of that to say I don't know - but we'll find out. We'll ping RH-legal and ask their expert opinions, unfortunately that probably means no immediate answer.
Thank you David for your comments. I always consider rules and regulations governing Fedora. Also I want to do my job as a Fedoran in my country. Mostafa Daneshvar http://mostafadaneshvar.com

my suggestion is to create a fork of fedora wih another name
something like fedoiran
then you need to grab fedora sources and recompile yourself
you will need to build your own build system, something like koji
