Unless everyone working on Fedora *moves* to the Isle of Man (and
obtains citizenship there), I don't think this sort of maneuver
keeps us out of trouble anyway.  Realistically we all have to worry
about the laws of wherever we live.  So as long as a significant
fraction of Fedora contributors are in $country, $country laws will
matter for Fedora.  (Repeat above statement for a rather long list
of $country.)
