I've been hearing about it a lot over the last few days, but I don't exactly understand what's going on. What's going on with Red Hat, and how does it affect Linux users?

Thanks for the thorough explanation - What does this mean for Fedora OS? Isn't that maintained by Redhat as well? I have a fairly large fedora server base in my homelab and hope I don't need to redeploy it all!

Absolutely nothing. Fedora is upstream of RHEL.

Doesn't Red Hat own/run the Fedora Project though? Or is there some governance and/or infrastructure to prevent Red Hat from messing with it?

I am only peripherally involved in Fedora as a contributor, but as I understand it, yes there is governance and infrastructure in place.
