It is a well know fact that the Fedora Project is primarily supported by Red Hat and that Red Hat is a US company. As a US company Red Hat, and thus Fedora, is required to operate under the laws of the US. It is the same as if one decides to register and open an business in Brisbane. They would have to abide by the laws of Australia and Queensland. One doesn't have to like it...but one does have to follow the law or suffer the consequences. > but to hell with them, so you can grab it from freshrpms.

The owners/admins of ausicsl.net are apparently xenophobic and arbitrarily block IP address from various geographies.
