As someone who’s an active user and contributor to Fedora: words cannot express enough how much I hate US laws.

It’s the reason we can’t ship with H.264 hardware decoding out of the box, it’s the reason why we can’t provide access to our project and our community to sanctioned countries (Cuba being one that really hurts me, but mainly Iran right now, which makes me really sad because I’m having to answer people from Iran almost weekly asking on how they can be a part of the project with “unfortunately you can’t”).

I dream of a day where Fedora’s trademark changed to the hands of a non-profit foundation outside of the US.
