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.

Try for bitter free software developer who has large projects out there under the GPL. Try software developer who has seen absolutely no benefit in contributing to free software for decades. Try disillusioned member of your free software movement who has learned to hate everything about your evangelical movement. But you wouldn't understand because for stupid shit like you, this is a tribalism issue, and your tribe is always right. There's no possibility of convincing you of anything because you're fucking brainwashed.

Plenty of people are getting paid to write free software. Your social skills might have something to do with why your life is a wreck. Have you been divorced too? Paying alimony right now? Gonna blame that on free software?
