Wonderfully stated. The announcement took my breath away. I hope
Fedora gets spun off.
Unlike the IBM of today, Redhat was not really your average capitalist enterprise so they supported Fedora. They had a long view which is not permitted by markets.....In any case, I doubt that Fedora or OSS is an example of any kind of capitalism. A good place to start looking for that would be Somalia.
Uhhhh. Red Hat uses Fedora as a testing ground for RHEL. RHEL is
basically a defunct, bug frozen version of Fedora. Red Hat gets
a ton of benefit from Fedora.
The big question is how will IBM look at it. RHEL is pretty much
unusable for newer software as RHEL is so bug riddled and out of date.
IBM may just dump RHEL and there goes Fedora. Maybe IBM will come
up with its own version of an enterprise distribution and keep
using Fedora for its testing ground as well.
Here is hoping!
