From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I've been seeing stuff about this but I don't quite understand, what does this mean for Fedora? Do I need to switch too?

Those distos are for professional use cases mostly. Fedora is fine and there is no need to worry.

Thanks for the heads up, I was worried for a second especially with the recent FedoraFiasco.

The most likely problem that may occur with Fedora because of RHEL's change is that some developers may just stop building RPM packages entirely. Whether it's a big enough issue to worry about, only time will tell

I'm out of the loop. What is RHEL's change? Is it something controversial that they did?
