The fact that a package might be unacceptable in certain countries does not
constitute a reason not to package it in Fedora. That's why packages and spins
exist, so that we can substitute a package if we need to.

If this package is not on the media we're distributing in events, then it
shouldn't be a problem. If it is/will be, then we should do exactly what we are
doing with OpenOffice in Brazil (which is trademarked): We have a different
spin for it:

    "Fedora-11-i686-Live-BrOffice   This spin is intended to be a Brazilian
    Portuguese localized spin that provides the legal brand for OpenOffice.org
    in Brazil."

I'd encourage everyone to understand that Fedora is much, much bigger than what
we think it is in our own realm. We ship our product in a bunch of countries,
and the only real problem that we should be worrying about in this case should
be: "does having such a package on our repos (and not on our media) break a law
in USA which, through the trademark bridge, could hurt Fedora and Red Hat"? If
the answer is no, then there should be a very serious reason to oppress the
"Freedom" foundation of Fedora.
