If you have a point, then there´s no point in me addressing your point

Usually, the implications of distributing stuff internationally have a
really strict realation with "what is exactly what you want to
export?" ... which in this case, leads you straight into the reading
of the terms of the licenses of the software subject to international
distribution.

Plase, get in touch with Fedora´a legal advisors. They´ll be able to
