The new license terms for RHEL are structured to stop subscribers from exercising their rights under the GPL. For now they are still providing source code albeit in a less convenient form, but technically they only need to do this for GPL licenses packages and they could remove code for BSD /MIT / Apache licensed packages.
Do these developments make you more.inclined to distribute your software under a copyleft license or are you happy with something more open?
So as a casual fedora user what does this mean? Closed sourced code/apps? No more updates? Tx
For Fedora users it changes nothing at all. Fedora is upstream from Enterprise Linux. There’s no practical reason you’d want to switch to a different distribution, just maybe a personal one if you strongly dislike what Red Hat is doing to the RHEL clones.
Tx bud 👍 I only use fedora due to newer apps compared to linux mint. I guess opensuse can do the same. Arch not a fan.
