That's a pretty vague sentence. Do we have something more specific to 
work with, to justify this whole fiasco ? Have people complained ? Were 
threats made ? Bugzilla tickets filed ? Did the PRC threaten to add 
fedoraproject.org to the big firewall if we don't stop shipping FreeCIV 
immediately (a CeasePackage-and-desist letter :-) ) ?
