Fedora release cycles: longer or shorter?Fedora release cycles: longer or shorter?Posted Nov 14, 2008 7:46 UTC (Fri) by jengelh (subscriber, #33263)Parent article: Fedora release cycles: longer or shorter?
>Subsequent discussion indicates that a number of Fedora developers feel that other distributions - Ubuntu in particular - are stealing Fedora's thunder by shipping Fedora-developed improvements first.
There we have it, black on white ( depending on your browser configuration). No merit.
>More than anything else, the Fedora project would like to ensure that the world knows about the work its developers are doing.
Fedora /could/ switch to a license that includes the advertising clause "this product contains Fedora software" or similar.

Fedora is very unlikely to do any such nonsense. Moral obligations if any are different from legal ones. Trying to confuse them would lead to the path of XFree86. If all software Fedora includes demand such credits, we would obviously go nowhere. So let's not even suggest using the legal tool to do the job. I don't a silver bullet solution to what essentially appears to be a marketing problem but this certainly isn't it.

Of course they can't... Most of the stuff is GPL. And their strong values
and beliefs (FREEDOM above all) prevent them from choosing anything else. It would alienate their community, and even if it didn't, I can hardly see Red Hat do such a thing. I'm not a huge Red Hat fan, but I know they strongly believe in true Free Software.
