You didn't indicate which software you refer to. Spot can advise more here, certainly. My recollection is Fedora hasn't generally assessed software based on how people use it, with very specific exceptions. Any software that can be used to subvert ToS could also be used by the site operator to test countermeasures, so this seems to me an unwise place to draw a line. -- Paul W.
