Anybody who has had extensive dealings with lawyers knows that they tend
to err on the side of caution at any time. When a publicly traded
company is involved, that's even more true.
Whether Red Hat and Fedora could have acted differently is a debatable
point. But that Red Hat acted as it did is not surprising. Just because
a corporation is open source, it doesn't stop being a corporation.
