Is this transitive? i.e. if RH points at an offshore site which contains nothing but pointers to the sensitive material, is it still a violation? If it's not, problem solved. If it is, then in theory RH would need to perform a transitive closure on all the web sites it hosts to ensure there's no path from them to the good stuff (sorry, the bad stuff). Of course I think like a mathematician, not like a lawyer. poc -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
