Red Hat handles that via a third party and there seems to limited
input/interest there to expand it.  Even if was expanded, there is no
way to earmark the profits if any to be allotted for Fedora Project
expenses.   In the absence of a separate legal entity such as a
non-profit foundation,   we don't have much flexibility in this matter.
