Fedora Changing its Project Mission

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.

    Wow, supremely triggered. I am beginning to understand why we got saddled with systemd and all the newfangled widgets we have these days. Software got too advanced, programmers are no longer needed to recreate the wheel every year so the greedy ones got scared and are now trying to lock everything down. They need to secure their future so they are going to embrace Disney's IP standards. All hail the mighty capitalists! May their software forever screw the customer!

    It is the new wave, values mean nothing, VC or bust! Scared insecure people, and hey I get it, everyone is scared these days and trying to secure their future. It's the wrong way to go about it, but I do understand your insecurities.
