</div>By the same argument, we could also talk about a whole raft of issues to<br>
do with free software or free culture, but that's not the purpose of<br>
this list. The list is specifically for discussing Fedora. The whole<br>

appropriate in any of the other lists, blogs, hashtags or whatever that<br>
focus on these issues.<br>
