It was reasons like this that led Red Hat to remove fortune-mod in the

Free software! Open Source! No patent encumberance! No problem? Do
we also want to waste time discussing if we want to allow GPL
pornographic software in Fedora?
I suppose we need written policies about (possibly) offensive content so
we don't repeatedly waste time arguing about this.
