*.iso maybe more people would use them instead of just saying 'what
the heck' and clicking on the .iso.
Politically it would be a great statement. One of the most
significant open source companies stepping up and using bit torrent
for an obviously legal purpose. But, alas I'm not a lawyers so I
have no idea the legal risks this would present.
There's absolutely no legal risk in publishing a .torrent of a Fedora
iso.
It appears that torrents were set up independently by folks outside of
Fedoraland-proper, and they've been managed this way all this time.
The torrent is setup by Seth Vidal, one of the primary developers of
Yum, Fedora Extras management, Fedora Extras build system,
Fedoraproject.org and so on. Sure he doesnt work for Red Hat but it is
pretty much "Fedoraland" .
