I was wondering if I can do anything about not being able to use Fedora Core legally. To use software that is partly my own (I am a copyright co-holder for Mozilla, FriBidi, GNOME translations (sometimes under the name "FarsiWeb", Pango, etc), I need to "warrant that I am not located in Iran":
Does Iran recognize US copyright law? If not I think you can probably do whatever you want with Fedora and still be on the right side of the only law that presently applies to you!

Red Hat is a US based company though. Knowingly sending software to a nation under a trade sanction is illegal, not for our Iranian colleague but for Red Hat. Just like trying to find an American car in Cuba made after 1959.
