The OBS Studio open-source screencasting and streaming app has called out Fedora's poor Flatpak packaging of the application and is threatening as going as far as legal action if it isn't addressed.

It was due to there stance on non free software. The have since weakened that stance.

Basically OBS used an EOL Runtime as the newer version had regressions causing OBS to not work properly.
