I am not a Redhat or Fedora user and I am completely neutral to those distros and I am not commenting about what is right or wrong. However, the mention in the article about the "Freedom" of Fedora project raised my interest in it. As a corporate decision, RH can provide any updates/patches as and when they decide. But how does it relate to Fedora if Fedora is not tightly coupled with RH (thats what is told by almost everybody in RH/Fedora) Compare this with the Debian situation some days back. There were jokes and cartoons about the same but nobody ever thought of questioning the Debian's FOSS culture of sharing things with users and developers. I think the difference between the approach to resolve the problem gives a clear picture. Well, today it is RH/Fedora in the situation, tomorrow it could be Ubuntu or Gentoo or Mandriva. Lets accept the facts and move ahead.
