Quite some time ago (2003), there was a young fellow in Ghana.  He had 
no computer, and as with so many in Africa, had to choose between eating 
a meal, or checking his email.  After great effort, and with some help, 
he managed to collaborate with Robert Lazaneo, a songwriter from Reno, 
Nevada, and create a song file that folks could download and listen to.  
Without Fedora, it probably wouldn't have happened. 

As Fedora and CCRMA collaborate, there's no question that this story 
will become all too commonplace.  The world will hear the voices and 
talents of millions that would never have a chance, otherwise.  And, who 
benefits?  Everyone but the corporate thugs, I think.
