The relation is fascinating, especially because at least some of the CentOS developers are now Red Hat employees and Red Hat is publishing their free software at https://git.centos.org/. It's much like that when Red Hat used to publish its full binary distributions up until Red Hat 9. Their efforts there, and especially in funding and supporting Fedora development as a testbed for RHEL projects, has been an extremely effective business model for free software development. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
