Red Hat legal speaks

[Rahul Sundaram <sundaram fedoraproject org>]

Hi,

The question on DMCA and iPod's and linking to third party repositories 
has been answered and we indeed can now do that if we wanted to, with 
some caveats. Can't use this as a alternative source for codecs in codec 
buddy in a direct way but getting this clarification does help. Thanks 
to Spot for running my questions through Red Hat Legal.

"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"
