However, directing people to places where they can (essentially) violate IP rights may be roughly as actionable as violating them yourself. Yes, that's a bit over-dramatic, but if you learn to see this situation the way that Red Hat's legal department likely does, you'll quickly understand why this is a very tangled problem. I think, frankly, directing people to Google is always best, that way they generally end up with the information they want, and it's up to them to provide the search parameters. I'm not saying that's the way to handle official documentation, I'm only saying it's an alternative that's free of legal entanglements. -- Paul W. Frields, RHCE
