There are two components: - the trademark, infra, and a majority of tangible assets that the community relies on owned by Red Hat, - the work, the ideas, and a large proportion of the non tangible bits are owned/shared/contributed collectively by the community----this includes Red Hat employees that we all work together with and are most grateful for. One cannot exist without the other, and the task of the community, and the Council in particular, is to ensure that while following the regulations that apply to Red Hat, the community is still able to pursue its social goals and ideals. As I keep screaming, mostly in the Fedora Join channels, Fedora = the people, and then Fedora = the deliverables. If some day in the future, Red Hat is no longer able to back the community, the people of Fedora will still exist and I personally think we will be able to continue the community even if we need to find a new name. (RPMFusion is already an example this.) I haven't thought about the main subject of this thread yet, so I won't weigh in there now. :) -- Thanks, Regards, Ankur Sinha "FranciscoD" (He / Him / His) | https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Ankursinha Time zone: Europe/London
