First of all I'm not really involved ether, because I do not own a
Fedora* domain. I am member of the Fedora Project and I work hard to get
the wider community, e. g. people running sites about Fedora involved in
the Fedora project or to at least enhance the cooperation between them
and the project. I *want* them to sign a contract, but unfortunately I
cannot recommend signing the TLA in it's current form, even as a member
of the project who believes in Red Hat's good will.

Second: Please don't use generalizations like "you all". My position is
different from Robert's or Richard's for example. But I share their
concerns, at least to a certain degree.

Not sure about others, but I cannot tell anybody to sign a contract if
he still has questions.
