| If you’ve seen our feature list for Fedora 11, you know how extensive it is.
| These features will likely end up in other distributions as well — which is a
| purposeful goal of our upstream policies. Jerry-rigging changes in our own
| distribution that only change Fedora, and that would make our contributors
| work too hard trying to keep those differences coordinated, would make no
| sense. Instead we try to work heavily and directly in upstream communities
| like the kernel, X.org, freedesktop.org, GNOME, and so forth, so the advances
| we’re making will benefit free software users everywhere. The specific goals
| for a Fedora release include informing the public about all the work we’ve
| done to advance these various features for the good of all.

Discouraging Software Patent Lawsuits
,----[ Quote ]
| Recently we’ve seen some surprising comments about Red Hat’s stand on
| software patents and, in particular, about one of its patent applications
| related to the AMQP specification. It looks like clarification is called for.
| Our views and our position, as expressed in our work for patent reform, our
| Patent Promise, and our work with the AMQP project, have not changed.
|
| Red Hat has worked hard to address the problems of our patent system. We
| believe there are serious problems with the existing system, particularly as
| it affects free and open source software. In just the last few months, we
| have supported new patent reform legislation, submitted a brief in the Bilski
| case arguing against patenting of software, and created an innovative patent
| settlement in the FireStar case that gave broad protection to the open source
| community. We are also proud of our work in helping establish the Open
| Invention Network, supporting the Peer-to-Patent program, and developing our
| Patent Promise.

Red Hat Fedora Claims It's the Leader in Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| Red Hat's Fedora community Linux distribution has now tallied its user base,
| and it's a number that on the surface would make it the largest installed
| base of any Linux distribution, with at least 9.5 million users and possibly
| as many as 10.5 million.
