Ohh legal-type ones: We have a contributor from Iran (and I imagine that you are already engaged on the trademark issue for a proposed website). This gentleman has recently been sponsored as an Ambassador and recently asked the question about what he can do within Iran. https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-ambassadors-list/2009-February/msg00262.html I responded and told him that I had been pondering this question but had no answers and would appeal to those who are more qualified to answer. It is obvious to me that we can not directly provide him support however I think his questions are valid, and there have been recent conversations about other countries in similar situations such as Cuba. The first question in my mind is: what type of liability exists for us to have 'members' of Fedora in such countries. The example I am thinking of is if he as an individual downloads Fedora isos and distributes them at an event in Iran, is there risk to us because he is a member of the Fedora Project. Perhaps a better question is: What is he forbidden from doing. Given the recent list traffic regarding Cuba and now Iran, perhaps codifying such restrictions would be beneficial. If such a page already exists, please feel free to ignore my question and just point me there, but my friend Google yielded little other than this blog post from Greg a year ago: http://gregdek.livejournal.com/23007.html Another question - supposing some level of involvement is acceptable, and that Fedora EMEA e.V. is not subject to such restrictions (it's my belief that EU countries have no such law regarding Iran, but whether that's a belief grounded in reality might be a different matter) could Fedora EMEA support activities in $forbidden_places? I know RH Legal is trying to wrap it's head around the entire non-profit organization stuff at the moment, so perhaps we can also get this answered in the process.
