These are very valid points. Red Hat Legal was able to quickly turn
around a new version of this document for us, please look at:
http://spot.fedorapeople.org/Model%20and%20Contribution%20Release%20rev1.pdf
It is no longer an "exclusive" agreement, and it is now bounded to the
Fedora Picture Book only.
Please let me know if there are any additional concerns, Red Hat is more
than willing to work with our needs here.
Thanks for shepherding this along, Spot.
