Spliting is *the option* along with teaching legal not to impose such
braindead non-technical issues.

I'm sorry, but I see no reason fro that. Next legal will ask to put
all in one folder (so goodbye / vs /usr split) or all in one file
(hey, it's legal, it doesn't need to make sense, they have the final
say).

So please whoever lives and works near the legal people at Red Hat buy
them some coffee over lunch and ask them to raise the legalism crap.

And finally if all they care is the mention of a package in the EULA,
changing "fedora-logo" to "fedora-logo and fedora-logo-no-X" or
whatever won't cost them more than 5 minutes of their life.
