Why would anyone else prefer Red Hat over Fedora? Red Hat users need switch to Fedora and dgaf about Red Hat.

Nazo (nazokiyoubinbou@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 06-Nov-2023 17:36:12 JST Nazo @nixCraft I'm a little confused. Won't this violate the licenses of quite a lot of the software and libraries it uses? Either the article wasn't clear or I missed it (it's quite long and wandering,) but it seems all they have done in regards to covering this is that incomplete "stream" offering that doesn't include all the actual code changes (which is what numerous licenses specifically require.)
It would be another thing entirely if they just made a "linux-like" competing OS.

Axel Werner (axel1973@mastodon.social)'s status on Monday, 06-Nov-2023 17:48:49 JST Axel Werner @nixCraft Simply STOP USING #REDHAT BASED DISTROS COMPLETELY !! Don't feed the troll! They don't want "freeloaders". So stop to maintain their marketshare by using RH related distros. Switch to something more relaxed and community oriented. That saves you a ton of LUBE, if you hate when your butthole burns, after getting F'ed by RH.
