Despite the political implications, Fedora is Free Software and is based
on Free Software. As is, Fedora, or any other spin, should be exported
and can reach any single person in the World. Limiting this, from my
point of view, makes no different than just selling and promoting
proprietary software.

I understand your concerns, but I don't agree with "Distros based on USA
won't send any material to Cuba", if this turns out to be true, I will
not believe in this "Free as in Freedom/Free Software Free Society"
thingy anymore.

That's just my opinion, of course.

Cheers,
