Red Hat legal speaks
The Fedora advisory board has just been updated on a couple of conclusions
reached by the Red Hat legal department. It has been determined that
support for current iPod devices can be provided by Fedora - getting around
Apple's obfuscation is not seen as a DMCA violation. The rules on linking
to encumbered software have also been loosened: "This means that we can put a page up on the fedoraproject.org wiki,
which carefully explains that there is an optional addon repository
called Livna, which contains packages that for a variety of reasons, are
not included in the normal Fedora repositories. We should not specify
these reasons, and if someone asserted their patents against something
in Livna, we would need to take the page down.
