IMHO it is a risky decision. By limiting the field of use that governs what constitutes "acceptable" behaviour of Fedora, we effectively add regulations based on a vague feeling of "this could be somehow something that might put Fedora at risk". I expect a full and thorough analysis of which tools we currently ship could be excluded under this new doctrine. Think of nmap, wireshark etc. Tools that have a perfect use for debugging but can also be used for not-so-good things. With this decision, it will become hard to justify why some tools are OK and others pose a legal risk. I am not happy with this new policy.
