Defending the flame of Linux freedom (TechRadar)

TechRadar interviews Max Spevack, former Fedora project leader and current manager of the Red Hat community architecture team. Spevack talks about the relationship between Fedora and RHEL as well as the value that the Fedora community provides, not just to Red Hat, but to the Linux community as a whole. "Fedora stands on its own as an operating system, and it just so happens that Fedora is upstream of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. No one is going to call Debian a beta of Ubuntu, but Debian is in many ways upstream for a lot of the Ubuntu packages in the same way that Fedora is upstream for a lot of the RHEL packages. That doesn't mean that one is a beta of the other."
