Aah, I see the issue now. That's just annoying, I understand very well,
that using flags for languages is a bad idea, but being unable to use
them for countries themselves is really annoying (I can see it might be
useful especially for local fedora websites) :-/

But yeah, makes sense to ban for all or allow for all...

PS: me thinks the proper place for this topic would be fedora-legal, but
as long as no-one creates them (and the main contributors will not in
the near future, because we have icons with much higher priority that
need to be fixed/created) it is a non-issue in echo, dunno how on your
side...
