I also think we should not questioning all and everything on boards decisions - but if the whole FOSS Eco System has implication from it, a very thourough decision making process and a much better reason should pointed out. I really hope i can discuss this during my talk during FUDCon Tempe in January - and the Board will reconsider the policy and the decision - after Spot has done a more thorough analysis about the legal situation. cu Joerg -- Joerg (kital) Simon jsimon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/JoergSimon http://kitall.blogspot.com Key Fingerprint: 3691 0989 2DCA 58A2 8D1F 2CAC C823 558E 5B5B 5688
