How can a discussion of open source and the GPL be harmful to Fedora or 
Red Hat?
In what bizarro universe does that even begin to make sense.
  People that don't find the conversation useful should ignore it, that 
is after all what mail filters were created to do.
  People that understand and respect freedom don't advocate censorship 
in any form. If you don't have the discipline to ignore the conversation 
then that's your problem.

I am willing to accept that perhaps I have missed the point of the 
Fedora Project entirely. So maybe one of you generous souls  could 
enlighten me.
