But MP3 isn't the entire point, merely a safe example. I'd like to take the opportunity to thank Spot (and others at Fedora/RedHat) for keeping us stuck-in-the-sand small business lusers apprised of Fedora/RedHat's legal positions and updates thereto. I work in a very conservative industry that has pretty well embraced Red Hat and its freebie wannabe clones. I doubt it would have happened had Red Hat a more liberal libertarian legal policy. I for one appreciate being able to walk into the office in the morning, unlock my screen, and just not have to worry about how I'm going to respond to fud.

The legal policy can't be libertarian, conservative, or liberal. It's dictated by the law. 

Unfortunately it seems that our government, and a significant portion of our population, has
lost the concept of liberty completely. This is what letting a combination of greedy bastards,
soulless beuracrats, and smarter-then-thou social engineering types run things.
