Redhat must conform to the US laws and generally, I would say a large chunk of
their revenue comes from America. Regardless if Fedora is a community driven
project, what do you think Fedora is.. Just a project for the people only?
No.. It's a project that Redhat can use to test new things (Like Xorg) and try
out risky things and be a little more 'cutting edge'.. and then roll those
changes into their commercial product.

comments dont get compiled.. nor seen by someone walking past your computer..
now, if a function was named inappropriately, and you for some reason are
piping a strings output or gdb output to a 110" screen for your entire office
to see.. that may be a problem.. but, that'd be stupid.
