Feel free to edit that content if you see something that is clear, or
send your comments back here. I believe Mike is subscribed to this
list, so we can get his input when needed.

Line 2:
These freedoms, however, do not include the right to deceive,
manipulate or otherwise *change* the processes and procedures Fedora
has in place.
So the rules can never change, those with power never leave and anyone
who questions them is out? I'd consider revising to make it less
transcendental and more concrete. Add detailed boundaries of what is
wrong and why it is harmful. For example: vandalism, deliberately
creating security issues, self promotion, harassment, and so on.

I made a couple changes -- see if that helps. I am not necessarily in
favor of detailing specific violations because our definitions may
differ (or be incorrect). I don't believe it's vital that we do so,
either, in order to retain the rights to terminate accounts.
Nevertheless, I'm going to shoot a note to Fedora Legal to see whether
any further text might be required.
There is still a lot of fake legalese verbosity in the paragraph. Most
people don't speak legalese, many have no understanding what you are on
about after you start speaking it. Sum it up.
-----
Fedora project reserves the right to terminate accounts used
maliciously. Accounts may be terminated for:
* maliciously violating or circumventing fedora project's procedures.
* using multiple accounts without permission.
* deliberate damage to the openness, transparency, and equality of the
fedora project.

That's about all that needs to be there anything else is just padding.
Don't use ten words for something you can say in two.
