"Freedom is a Feature" is a trademark of The Fedora Project and Red Hat,
Inc. Use of the words "Freedom is a Feature" without express written
consent is strictly prohibited by U.S. and International Law.

I'd much rather mount a big campaign after the fact that says
"$BIGSCARYENTITY stole that line from Fedora."
