RHAT as a Large American Corporation is fine with working with proprietary if it sends them $$$, but then the same can be said about me. RHAT are frightened about contributory infringement attacks just from pointing at Livna and won't have that stuff in Extras, so no, they don't "approve of it" in the Fedora case. >> That being said, Oracle is a bloated pig.
