There is just one tiny little thing i wonder about: In core 3, will there be an option under install "Do you want to use extras-packages? This may be illegal under current US and EU copyright/patent law" - something like debian does? That would be really great, but i dont know the legal implications.
I dont think so. Certain readings of US/EU law is that even advising that it might be illegal but saying you can do it makes you a party to the crime. EG Red Hat would be enabling a criminal enterprise. While it might get thrown out of court eventually... it is probably something RH wants to deal with.
