Not that I'm aware of. The only discussions I've seen that seemed
somewhat awful was the non-event abotu AOL and Redhat talking things
over, and discussions about not allowing others to distribute the
releases with anything sounding remotely like <Color><Clothing_Item>
names. If others are following that, it would be kinda hard to pin
problems to Redhat because their name isn't on it and it's not
officially sanctioned.

I'm not aware of any piracy-type happenings either, which is why I found
that statement rather curious in what amounted to someone doing their
version of an announcement.
