[Ambassadors] what can I do in Iran?

[Kamin Horvath]

Of course if Fedora is indeed barred from distribution on your area,  
you could always work with a Fedora based distribution that isn't  
subject to US law. However of course that would mean support would be  
more limited. Hopefully we'll be able to resolve this easily.
