Roozbeh Pournader just posted the following on the fedoraproject.org wiki within his personal namespace. I wanted to bring this to everyone's attention. For Roozbeh, this is a bit of a personal issue, since export control in the U.S. technically requires that we not ship Fedora to Iran, where Roozbeh is located. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/RoozbehPournader/EULA > I am planning to keep notes about the problems of the Fedora EULA here.

I don't see merit in all of Roozbeh's concerns, but they're worth looking into for the sake of Doing the Right Thing. -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx http://www.n-man.com/ LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/nman64 Have I been helpful?
