And there is absolutely nothing stopping anyone from putting the resources together and charging money for security updates post-EOL for any Fedora release if they thought there was a market for that and individuals were willing to pay for that sort of service in a sustainable way. At the end of the day, someone is going to have to step up and do the work to extend the lifetime of Fedora releases. Because the entirety of our process uses open software, our current process is replicable, without relying on the Fedora Project to bless it. Under the new trademark policy, I believe that such a 3rd party repository would still qualify as a Fedora remix even if it were done completely outside of the control of Fedora itself. Whether or not that work is done completely by volunteers or people are paid to do it doesn't really matter, the point is people have to be motivated to do the work. -jef -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@redhat.com To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
