What if a Fedora account is held by someone seeking to overthrow a
government? What if a Fedora account is held by a company seeking to
find a cure for a terminal disease via illegal stem cell research? What
if a Fedora account is held by a vandal? A robber? Someone speaking out
against a religion?

IMO, the Fedora Project MUST maintain an amoral stance on who gets
accounts (within the realm of the laws it's bound by, of course), even
if the members feel otherwise.
