This is likely the basis of our disagreement then.  I don't feel
comfortable resting that legal obligation with Fedora, especially as an
afterthought.  I'd prefer that if you wish to rely upon Fedora to foot
your legal requirements, you participate in our hosting program so that
Fedora can ensure an end in sight for our legal assumed
responsibilities.

Nothing should prevent a downstream from doing their own thing, not
participating with Fedora project.  I would just rather that if they
choose to do this, that they also choose to handle their own legal
responsibilities.
