We frequently make use of research that the Debian folks have done,
and anything which is not acceptable to them bears strong scrutiny
before we consider it acceptable for Fedora. If you wish to
characterize their efforts as some sort of illness then that's your
business but please concentrate on reasonable discourse here.
Yeah, I figured section 4 might be an issue...
I'm definitely not a lawyer either, and the license isn't optimal, but
what exactly stops us from packaging it? (Not trying to be difficult,
just trying to understand). We'd be packaging it in a way that satisfies
4a, and users are welcome to modify it once its installed on their
system. Or is the fact that you couldn't change the branding for
redistribution if you wanted to enough to give it the boot?
