Hy there,
with all we can read here and all that will come I would like to say some things. This is (or better it can become) one of the things we discussed last year at the marketing FAD - the Point "Crisis Management" and I will try to summarize some things. At this point it is VERY important that the board is open and precise with the infos that will go out. Here should be written an official PM over our own mailinglists (THAT should be the very first that should be done!), to all the "big" press-agencys, the redhat press site, etc. which clearly states what was the intention behind this decision. From the marketing perspective this would also be good to be mentioned/discussed open over the Developer, Ambassadors and other involved ML's. If not then there could be more and more speculations and no real info. And THAT would be very dangerous for the image inside and out there. Just my 23 Cents.
mit freundlichen Grüßen / best regards Henrik Heigl - wonderer@fedoraproject.org

I agree with Jan here, because there is HUGE grey zone involved in deciding which packages are accepted. can't we add a rule in the user agreement, that fedora can't be hold responsible for actions a user does with packages provided by the fedora project?

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.
Jan
