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.

Contributing to projects is a good way to build a resume but is not a requirement. You can just as easily write an app to sell on iPhone/android markets, or modules/plugins to sell. Or find some for-pay projects, or find your own clients.
No one forces you to code for free.
Are you just a young person angry that the economy / society is failing you? That "the american dream" is a hollow lie? Sorry, not gonna lie it does suck. Do your best, try not to let it get you down.
