Hi,
I was talking recently to a couple of friends who aren't in the
software industry and it came out in our recent discussions that both
the companies they are working for is using Fedora on their systems.
They remarked that they had no idea that Red Hat was involved in Fedora.
I still meet people in various places who think Red Hat has stopped
working on a free distribution after Red Hat Linux 9 and continue to
use it or worse a earlier version.
I just looked within Fedora to see if there was any hint and couldn't
really find any prominent ones. The note on http://fedoraproject.org
is also easily missed. Is this a deliberate decision? Should there be
some of co-branding within the distribution and a prominent hint in
other places?
Something like Fedora - Powered by Red Hat/ Sponsored by Red Hat or
some such.
I think this will bring us back 2 years. One of the major advantage
given by Red hat; is we got transparent build process; all tools used is
GPL'ed, all these efforts are done to invite and welcome contributers, I will
think co-branding will do exact the opposite.
Free software with branding is still Free software and will continue to
stay that way. This discussion is orthogonal to that.
