Red Hat/IBM's commitment to the open-source community has come into question recently, as highlighted in the informative article from the Software Freedom Conservancy (https://sfconservancy.org/blog/2023/jun/23/rhel-gpl-analysis/). This raises concerns about the future of Fedora, a project sponsored by Red Hat and ultimately benefiting them.
As a loyal user of Fedora for the past 10 years, I deeply appreciate the appeal of this operating system. However, the actions taken by Red Hat/IBM, the primary sponsor and benefactor of the Fedora project, have the potential to undermine both themselves and the broader open-source software community in the long run. Notably, the issues surrounding CentOS and now the recent RHEL source restrictions signal a worrisome trend towards further limitations on the usage of their "products."
In light of these developments, it is prudent for us to consider alternatives and move away from the Red Hat-sponsored ecosystem. By doing so, we can ensure our continued support for a vibrant open-source community that prioritizes collaboration and freedom.
