Project (CBI) < http://www.cs.wisc.edu/cbi/ > and their config rpm -

It would be good to have this referenced somewhere that would be
easy to find. At least fedorafaq.org could have it on there somewhere.

That's not as black and white an issue as you might think. Until
there is a universal global legal system that everyone on the planet will
abide by the prevailing laws of each country will have a significant
impact on any project accessible to anyone within or from that country.
You think it sucks, I think it sucks, just about everyone in this
community thinks it sucks. But the ones with the power and money don't
give a $#it what we think.
