From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Fedora's deeply related Red Hat. Every decision affects Fedora in some way. It's just another negative change IBM is doing to RH.
@BarrierWithAshes @SmokeInFog @TooL not unless they make new announcements regarding their upstream projects. This decision affects downstream projects that rely on making their code publicly available (hence projects outside of redhat).
I am apprehensive too as I just started using fedora and beginning to like it.
I'll still be using Fedora. But i'm a RHEL Engineer soo... kinda makes sense to stick with it. I don't see this really having much of an effect on me.
