I made a couple changes -- see if that helps.  I am not necessarily in
favor of detailing specific violations because our definitions may
differ (or be incorrect).  I don't believe it's vital that we do so,
either, in order to retain the rights to terminate accounts.
Nevertheless, I'm going to shoot a note to Fedora Legal to see whether
any further text might be required.
