I am swayed by that argument, but this is a special case.
I'm still very concerned over issues around
1. fedora being able to refer to rpmfusion
or the more general:
2. journalists/websites cannot mention rpmfusion either
or even
3. losing rpmfusion contributors
I feel any or all of these probably trump the issue, imo.
Blarg, I've said my piece, so I'll shut up now.
(wishlist/todo: create a FAQ on the wiki for this very issue, so we
don't need to rehash/rediscuss it every few weeks). :)
