 	It is, though it should include the Cooperative Bug Isolation 
Project (CBI) < http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/ > and their config rpm - 
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/downloads/rpm/fedora-11-i386/RPMS.tools/cbi-package-config-11-10.i586.rpm

 	It would be good to have this referenced somewhere that would be 
easy to find.  At least fedorafaq.org could have it on there somewhere.

 	That's not as black and white an issue as you might think.  Until 
there is a universal global legal system that everyone on the planet will 
abide by the prevailing laws of each country will have a significant 
impact on any project accessible to anyone within or from that country.

 	You think it sucks, I think it sucks, just about everyone in this 
community thinks it sucks.  But the ones with the power and money don't 
give a $#it what we think.
