the original, Fedora is NOT Red Hat, but Red Hat does

One person makes a incorrect statement and another piles up
on it and no
good can come out of that. The problem is a legal
one. Red Hat has
the legal liability over code that Fedora distributes and
we rely on
lawyers from Red Hat and FSF to verify that we can
distribute code under
the free and open source licenses. It has
nothing to do with ego of anyone

I am not questioning legality or licensing issues here. I was just wondering how EGOS get
in the way of free sofware and Free and Open Source Software! We already know about those
things in the forbidden items list :)
