As I already indicated,  I compared FPCA to CLA and FPCA was certainly a
much better text however I did not challenge the necessity of FPCA since
I assumed Red Hat Legal was mandating this but it seems that is not the
case and  the idea of a default license is problematic IMO.

This is a point of concern at all.  Please read my reply to Toshio for a
summary.
