Legal Issue FAQ
This page shows the resolution of many commonly asked legal questions. It was created so that issues need not be endlessly retread on discussion lists if they have been resolved with our legal counsel previously.
Linking to Forbidden Items
The Fedora wiki can link from a page to sites that might offer items we do not carry in Fedora. It cannot describe them, nor why anyone might want them. We do this at the page.
GPG
GPG is useful for authenticating communciations from an email address. Without a good deal of verification process which Fedora cannot practically accommodate, it is not useful for verifying identity. Therefore, we do not require GPG signature of our CLA in the account system .
CLA
