I haven't written otherwise.

We frequently make use of research that the Debian folks have done, and anything which is not acceptable to them bears strong scrutiny before we consider it acceptable for Fedora. If you wish to characterize their efforts as some sort of illness then that's your business but please concentrate on reasonable discourse here.
Yeah, I figured section 4 might be an issue...
I'm definitely not a lawyer either, and the license isn't optimal, but what exactly stops us from packaging it? (Not trying to be difficult, just trying to understand). We'd be packaging it in a way that satisfies 4a, and users are welcome to modify it once its installed on their system. Or is the fact that you couldn't change the branding for redistribution if you wanted to enough to give it the boot?
