 Eric, you *should* go talk to Fraunhöfer, among others. Although it certainly 
would be cool for Red Hat (and/or others) to negotiate too. However as has 
been mentioned several times, what is really needed is complete freedom, and 
as such this negotiation (or at least the initial approach) does seem more 
appropriate for a non-commercial representative (well, not a corporate one).
