It's a hollow and short lived victory if your payment ends up funding 
lawsuits against other open source software providers. Or if you set a 
precedent which pressures others to pay up too.

Really, given Fedora's stance on non-free software I'm not sure what 
you're trying to achieve here. If anyone thinks that buying a license 
for lame is the way forward, let them pass their hat around; I doubt it 
will be a fedora.
