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.

So I went and checked the comment. Sure the title said what you claim, but the comment was:
We knew from day one this mumbo jumbo wouldn't fly.
Honestly, what sane person would try to make money from any software licensed under the GPL, which was drafted by a hippie communist to fulfill his manifesto of driving the price of all software to zero.
The GNU Manifesto plainly says, you won't get paid. Do something else.
Zero to do with the title, and a very trollish comment that ignores actual reality. The web runs on Linux and last I checked the web is home to a massive amount of profit making business. Try again little chickadee.
