But there is more to Red Hat's de facto "take-over" including the
imposition of USA's domestic law on citizens all around the world.

The compulsory imposition of USA law on all Centos downloaders creates
the possibility of being arrested in one's home country and sent to the
USA for a criminal trial.  A few people in Britain have been extradited
to the USA for criminal trials for matters which are not criminal in
Britain.

Can anyone remember seeing this on the old Centos .... ?
