I disagree. Red Hat should have no right to seize domains from other people. The domain wemakefedora.com could be a meanifull reference to lots of things that have nothing to do with the Fedora Project that does software development. Several replies have been about how bad this person is and how this jusifies siezing that domain. That is exactly using the end to justify the means. If the web site contained trademark violations or some kinds of defamation then there are legal remedies to stop that behaivor that don't involve seizing the domain and could be more effective, since there are lots of domain names that could be used as a way to easily reach the site. I think the determination was correct in that this was an abuse of process by Red Hat and they should have used a different forum for trying to deal with this issue.
