But here’s the thing. You’re saying that it’s wrong to base development or support on RHEL because of

the packaging, testing guarantee (you know everything they offer has been thoroughly tested), and the enterprise support. How does this change for Fedora? It seems like Red Hat shouldn’t be able to just copy their code right? Because they are doing a lot of packaging and testing and someone could offer support.

IANAL but those things seem to be solely the result of their own work, and shouldn’t be subject to the licenses of the software they redistribute.

IANAL either, but you don’t get to ignore software licenses legally just because you don’t like what they say. This is well settled law.

I do also find the idea that we should worry about legal competition to protect one specific business a bit concerning. If Red Hat can’t offer better support then that’s on them. This same argument seems to me like it would be against right to repair, independent car repair shops and more.
