> $100 says this is IBM wanting to track who is using Fedora, so they can build a list of IP's of corporations they can then go try and sell RHEL to.

IP addresses are explicitly *not* collected as part of this proposal. Indeed, there are no per-device/user identifiers collected at all, which you would have known if you'd bothered to *read* the proposal instead of just mouthing off against it.

Meanwhile, you do understand that IP address information has _always_ been obtainable/available through the download mirror infrastructure?
