I agree, but as an individual I don't have a good way to defend myself
against Red Hat and their team of lawyers.

In theory this would be possible but very difficult. Individual packages
are versioned so if you knew what version of anaconda worked you could try
that. I honestly don't have the time to put quite that much effort into
this.
On another note.... you work for Intel right? I had hear that Intel had
been looking into hosting the koji server so we could have a _real_ Fedora
ia64 again. Do you know anything about that?
