No!  *I* and many others won't be happy.  Fedora Core should *only*
include real free / Open Source software and nothing more.  The whole
"situation" doesn't change at all when the author himself would
provide the rpm's, if the conditions stay the same.

You have the right to have your own opinion, of course, but be aware
that a lot of people are firm supporters of free / Open Source
software (and some of them - like myself - have written such software
themselves) and will stay to refuse using DJB software - even for
personal use - given the current conditions.
