Fedora is drafting a new mission statement. The new initial proposal:
Fedora creates an innovative platform that lights up hardware, clouds, and containers for software developers and community members to build tailored solutions for their users.
The original goal was:
to work with the Linux community to build a complete, general purpose operating system exclusively from open source software.
Is saying open, or free, openly (excuse the pun) becoming something to be ashamed of? Are project ditching their ideals? Fedora barely mentioned free (or Free, to be more clear), but now it's even more vague. It's like if had to be reminded over and over to those in charge, as the triggered thread demostrates.

AC may be surprised to learn that Richard M. Stallman agrees with them on that point:

Open source is business terminology for exploiting the free labor of idealist hippies.

it can be but it doesn't have to be. you're one of those slaveware users/peddlers who like to say "commercial" instead of "closed source" or "slaveware" as if F/OSS can't be commercial. you're just a common street hooker. just admit it.

What does RMS have to do with "open source"? Nothing. There was also nothing wrong with what he said.
