What do you all think of the Red Hat drama a few months ago? I just learned about it and looked into it a bit. I’ve been using Fedora for a while now on my main system, but curious whether you think this will end up affecting it.
My take is that yes, it’s kinda a shitty move to do but I get why RH decided to stop their maintenance given they’re a for profit company.
What do you guys think? Do you still use or would you consider using Fedora?
I am not a lawyer either but “outside the licence” sounds wrong. The license ( the GPL ) talks about “additional terms” but those are extensions and modifications of the license itself. The only non-license vehicle that the GPL references is patents.
Importantly, the status of your Red Hat subscription does not modify the terms of the license. Cancellation of your Red Hat subscription does not cause a modification, impairment, or loss of any of the rights, obligations, or freedoms that you have under any GPL covered work that you have received.
