Actually, it's a local copy of the release notes.  It is in a visual
template that is the same as fedora.redhat.com, and the side links take
you to live URLs.  It is a local copy because we can't be sure someone
has network access and don't want the browser to not have a page to
show.

This was why we updated the release notes to address the kinds of things
you are talking about.  We (tried) to move the legalese so that it was
not at the top of the page, made the ToC more prominent, and have
introduced a What's New in Fedora Core section, and now there is a 1.2.
MP3 Codecs and Other Patented or Closed Source Software.  If you look at
this page:

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/release-notes/fc4/errata/

That is similar to what it *should* look like for FC5.  Unfortunately,
the changes to make the legalnotice lower didn't make it into the
release version of fedora-release.  There is an errata of this package
in QA that has the legalnotice moved.  We might release another errata
in a while, after we get more kinks ironed out of the relnotes.

We didn't have time or a proper marketing group to talk about this with,
so Rahul and I just made the changes.  It's good to see that we were
anticipating a need.
