I got excited to send this mail that I did not read carefully, but still I have an answer that should clear the deal *I hope* ``This Product is a "commercial item," as ...'' So is it commercial for Government Users and not for us regular citizens? This is taking it steps further, Is there an exception that we did not know of? Not an official government employee if you ask, but Aren't we all part of the U.S Government? We pay taxes. Our government is Government of the People, By the people for the people, for the people -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Lincoln told us that, was that a joke? http://showcase.netins.net/web/creative/lincoln/speeches/gettysburg.htm I guess for our government nowadays it could well very easily be. They take away many of our freedoms that were granted back in the old days :( Rahul, will you encourage users to write a bug report against firefox, or just leave things as they are with the announcement on the page? http://fedoraproject.org/static/firefox/ http://fedoraproject.org/static/firefox/website-services-agreement.html Regards, Antonio -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
