Specifically: "Individuals using multiple accounts without prior written
approval will have all but one account terminated. "

In general, my recollection is that is not permitted. I suppose there may
be special circumstances where it may be permissible.

And what does that matter when everyone can create enough nick
names and free email addresses to join Fedora?

In security point of view, that rule is a joke.

It's not automatically enforcable that's true but we catch you doing it
(and we have) and we'll do something about it. Turns out the honor system
wasn't enough to keep people honorable so we had to make a rule.

Just for curiosity, what? Prevent doing it again? How?

Like said, it's a joke.

IIRC this change was not announced, was it?

It's been in place for years so I don't know if it was announced or not.
Consider it announced.

We'd keep banning you and if you kept abusing the system I'd go the board
explaining what was going on and eventually we'd ban you. If some jerk
wanted to keep finding ways around the system and get re-sponsored in the
packager group (a tricky thing to do) then they can spend their time doing
that but we're not going to make it easy for people to route round our
systems and procedures. I assure you, it's not a joke just because it's
not automatically detectable.

And I'd suspect that intentionally entering into an agreement with
knowingly false information is a kind of Fraud in just about every
country.
