But it is more hard for individual user to print, translate and certify.
Moreover, there are enough troubles with "Fedora in production
environment" due to innovations/stabilities. An addition of legal issues
can just kill it.
Theoretically, it can lead to a situation, when RHEL, based on Fedora as

anywhere in business/production.
