You can only 'educate' people, but not restrict. Else we would
introduce ourselves a vender-lockin about which communities you can
participate in.

I have met this same situation as mentor; someone asked me what to do
as he was told this conflicts with Fedora's policy. This does not
exist and seems to be a misunderstanding from several ambassadors.

I do not see the issue as long as the members understand the
difference in what we represent. I wanted to write a long email as
response, but fortunately I got home late... so no energy for a
flamewar ;-).
